Nvidia joins Decart’s $300m round at $4b valuation

Israeli AI startup Decart raised US$300 million at an estimated US$4 billion valuation in a round led by Radical Ventures. Nvidia also joined the round, along with several other corporate and venture investors.

Decart previously raised US$100 million in August 2025 at a US$3.1 billion valuation, bringing its total funding to more than US$450 million.

Amazon has signed on as a customer, and Nvidia is also a business partner for Decart’s AI infrastructure products.

Founded in late 2023 by Dean Leitersdorf and Moshe Shalev, Decart builds AI software for real-time video and robotics simulations.

🧠 Food for thought

Implications, context, and why it matters.

Decart’s fast growth rests on close ties and clear demand

  • Nvidia backs Decart as both an investor and a business partner. That tie goes beyond a bet on returns. It also reinforces Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs), the chips widely used to train and run AI systems, as the base hardware for Decart’s AI infrastructure products.
  • The interest around Decart suggests investors and customers see real sales potential in its focus area. They do not appear to treat it as an experimental AI startup.
  • That stands out for a young company. It suggests demand for specialized AI software that supports robotics and real-time video applications.

The investment fits a wider move toward real-time AI infrastructure

  • Decart’s funding suggests the next wave of AI reaches past chatbots. It includes real-time infrastructure, along with simulation tools used in robotics and autonomous systems. Those systems are machines that can perform tasks with limited human control.
  • Nvidia’s stake also helps protect its hardware position. If developers build demanding real-time AI software on Nvidia chips, rival chipmakers may face a tougher path to win share.
  • The deal could spur similar moves by other large technology companies. Industrial firms are racing to add advanced simulation and real-time AI tools for logistics and automation.
