The Secret Behind Nvidia’s Wild Success Dozens of factors no doubt contributed to Nvidia’s success, but three stand out above the rest: • Aggressive Innovation: Nvidia’s founders were all engineers with practical, hands-on knowledge. They used this knowledge to stay on the cutting edge of their industry and consistently develop new technologies. In 1999, Nvidia invented the graphics processing unit (GPU), and in 2012, it became an early pioneer of AI when it powered the AlexNet neural network.

generative AI models like ChatGPT. Today, Nvidia GPUs power about 80% of all generative AIs, so it’s no wonder the company grew 200% from 2022 to 2023 as demand for AI surged. • Sharp Client Focus: When personal computers were trending in the 1990s, Nvidia pioneered GPUs to make them more functional. Since then, the company research and development team has consistently worked to fill needs in hot markets like PC gaming and AI. Nvidia likely has detailed customer avatars of its tech-savvy clients and finds success by identifying their pain points and innovating in those areas.

We know ketchup as a delicious condiment, but its origin is likely different than you’d expect. Ketchup’s roots started in Asia, where it was called ke-tsiap (Xiamen), a sauce made from fermented fish sauce. It came to Europe in the 17th century but looked and tasted different from the ketchup we know today, as it included ingredients like mushrooms, walnuts, and oysters — no tomatoes. In the 1830s, an Ohio physician named Dr. John Cook Bennett began marketing a tomato-based concoction as a medicinal elixir. Dr. Bennett claimed his tomato extract had incredible healing properties and promoted it as a cure for many ailments, including diarrhea, indigestion, jaundice, and rheumatism. His tomato preparation was a precursor to modern ketchup. Over time, the medicinal claims surrounding tomato-based ketchup faded, but people continued to enjoy the taste.
