Jeff Herbst is a former Nvidia executive who spent roughly 20 years building the company's startup and VC programs, leading 40+ investments and 20+ acquisitions worth ~$8B while scaling the Nvidia Inception accelerator to over 10,000 AI startups. His unusual career path from tech law partner at Wilson Sonsini to business development at AltaVista search engine to two decades at Nvidia gives him a rare combination of legal, early internet, and AI hardware expertise that he now applies as co-founder of GFT Ventures.
