# NVIDIA completes its initial public offering

Date: 1999

## The fact

On 22 January 1999 NVIDIA completed its IPO, a completed capital instrument under CEO Huang.

## Context

Neighbouring founding is 1993. Neighbouring GeForce 256 is later 1999 silicon. He did not write an SEC statute.

Founding 1993 is neighbouring. GeForce 256 August 1999 is neighbouring product.

[Jensen Huang](/people/jensen-huang) has been NVIDIA’s co-founder and CEO since April 1993. He does not write a BIS Entity List, a Commission DMA article, a TSMC fab act, a Chinese CAC circular, or a French Autorité decision. A GTC keynote is not a completed export licence. A subpoena is not a conviction. CUDA is not a court finding of monopoly unless a court so found. TSMC fabricates; hyperscalers buy; Beijing and Washington write the licence. Keep those dates separate. A Greenpeace cake is not a unique ppm. A DOE supercomputer is not a unique arsenal coefficient as his personal tally.

## Evidence and sources

NVIDIA carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [industrial-policy activism](/drivers/industrial-policy-activism) and fiscal-policy-adjacent listed capital: a completed IPO is a financing instrument for later GPU generations.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 22 January 1999 NVIDIA IPO, independently reported.

Not established: a unique later market-cap coefficient from the first print, or that competition vanished that day.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Underwriters sold. Nasdaq listed. SEC received the S-1. He did not sit as the Commission.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies NVIDIA completes its initial public offering, not a later speech about NVIDIA completes its initial public offering.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. NVIDIA completes its initial public offering on 1999-01-22 is not a licence to treat every later NVIDIA communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average NVIDIA completes its initial public offering into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He was CEO of the issuer. Underwriters sold. Nasdaq listed. SEC received the S-1. He did not sit as the Commission. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
