Nvidia Funds Multiple AI Startups

Dave McClure and Aman Verjee on the Trading Places podcast state that Nvidia is funding several AI companies rather than selecting a single winner. They cover deals involving Poolside, Mercor, and Perplexity. The discussion also addresses investor cash-outs from Cursor and OpenRouter positions plus signals around an OpenAI public offering. McClure adds commentary on diversification and notes other AI firms raising large rounds.
