Nvidia Acquires Synthetic-Data Startup Gretel for Over $320 Million Valuation
Nvidia acquired San Diego-based synthetic-data startup Gretel in March 2025 for a reported nine-figure sum exceeding its $320 million valuation. Founded in 2019 by Alex Watson, John Myers, and CEO Ali Golshan, Gretel developed tools to generate synthetic data that help developers work with sensitive information without exposing real customer details. Prior to acquisition, Gretel raised over $67 million from investors including Anthos Capital, Greylock, and Moonshots Capital, aiming to address privacy and compliance challenges in software development.
