Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Reflects on Starting a Company: "I Wouldn't Do It Again"

Nvidia's cofounder and CEO, Jensen Huang, stated in an interview that he wouldn't start the company again if given the chance, citing the grueling nature of building a business. Despite Nvidia's success and becoming one of the world's most valuable companies, Huang emphasized the unexpected challenges, vulnerability, and hardships involved in entrepreneurship. Nvidia's stock has experienced a major rally this year, driven by the demand for artificial intelligence, making it a trillion-dollar valuation company.

Huang believes that the ignorance of entrepreneurs about the difficulties of starting a company is actually their superpower, but with his current knowledge, he would opt out of starting over.
