Summary
According to a TechCrunch AI report, the departure of Jensen Huang has left a significant gap in AI startup funding, based on comments from venture capitalists and founders. The report notes that Nvidia put tens of billions into AI startups while Huang led the company. Without him at the helm, founders and VCs are bracing for smaller investment checks and lower valuations.

Why it matters
Founders raising money for AI companies could face smaller rounds and lower valuations if the concerns raised in the report hold. Investors may need to reassess how much they rely on Nvidia's backing when pricing AI deals. The snippet does not say who leads Nvidia now or how its investment pace may change, so those details are worth watching.
