Founder of $5 billion AI firm that Nvidia bought in 2023 reveals Jensen Huang’s Sunday ritual that shaped company’s success

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has an unusual Sunday ritual that played a key role in shaping the success of AI voice technology firm SoundHound, its founder Keyvan Mohajer has revealed. In an interview with Fortune, Mohajer said that nearly a decade ago, Huang began sending Mohajer research papers with notes on Sunday mornings, expecting detailed feedback. The routine, Mohajer said, not only pushed him to sharpen his ideas but also influenced SoundHound’s growth into a $5.4 billion company.

“It’s been one of the good things in my life to cross paths with Jensen and Nvidia,” Mohajer told Fortune. “He had a passion for what’s the next big thing, and he became very interested in our field.”
