Because they are mostly research departments (aka a lab) turned into a corp structure. It’s not a new phenomenon, just that until recently labs didn’t get $1T valuations so you see it more now

Ok, so, what research department did Nvidia grow out of?

  • NVIDIA has a research lab (actually, multiple given how massive they are)

    • Volkswagen has a couple too. Like, actual laboratories with people in white coats working in them. You don’t call Volkswagen “a lab” because of that.
