Is this trend going to continue? Exponentially or linearly? Is it going to invert?
As a reference:
Over 100 implies a new tripling in the number of startups invested (exponential trend)
Around 50 implies the continuation of a linear trend
Between 35-50 implies an increase, but a change of trend
Less than 35 implies a decrease

Update 2025-01-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - 80% probability for Nvidia investing in 50-99 startups
20% probability for Nvidia investing in 35-49 startups
In 2024, Nvidia participated in 50 funding rounds, investing approximately $1 billion in AI startups.
While the exact number of unique companies isn't specified, it's likely that Nvidia invested in around 50 distinct startups, as there are no reports indicating multiple investments in the same company within that year.
This represents a 15% increase from 2023, when Nvidia participated in 39 startup funding rounds, investing $872 million.
