Investment Thesis

We view NVDA as *the* AI company: a sustainable leader in massive parallel and heterogeneous compute chips, software, and recently

services, to enable AI & related applications. We see NVDA's leadership as driven less by the raw performance of its chips, and more by

its culture of innovation, ecosystem of incumbency, and massive investment in software, AI models, and services, that we believe makes

its chips a default choice for most engineers building AI systems.
