mitchdeg · x · 2026-08-27
Rumors suggest Nvidia is in talks to acquire Hugging Face for around $13 billion. This would mark the largest exit for a French-founded startup in history, representing an extreme valuation multiple of 80x revenue. Notably, Hugging Face reportedly rejected a $500M investment from Nvidia in late 2023 that would have valued it at $7B. The company has raised less than $400M total, backed by Salesforce, Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Sequoia, and others.
