Y Combinator Startup Podcast · Jensen Huang: The Mindset That Built NVIDIA · 27 Jul 2026 podcast

We were originally supposed to build Dreamcast.

But because our algorithm and our technology was fundamentally flawed, I went to Japan and I told Irimadri-san, the CEO at the time, that the contract that they gave us was like $12 million contract.

We will not be able to fulfill because the technology doesn't work.

And I told him the reasons why.

And then I advised that they choose somebody else to do it.

but then I asked him, I told him that I unfortunately still need the money.
