Jensen Huang's Persistence Led to Nvidia's Partnership with TSMC Founder Morris Chang
In the late 1990s, Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang struggled to reach TSMC founder Morris Chang while seeking a manufacturer for Nvidia's graphics chips. After repeated unanswered calls using the Yellow Pages contact, Huang wrote a detailed letter to Chang. This persistence led to an unexpected call from Chang, marking the start of a long-term partnership. Huang later visited TSMC and rival chipmaker UMC in Taiwan, solidifying the relationship that helped Nvidia grow.
