Nvidia is reportedly preparing to invest up to $1 billion in AI coding startup Poolside, a move first reported Oct. 30, 2025, by Bloomberg and carried by Reuters and other outlets. The deal would reportedly begin with an initial commitment of about $500 million and could rise to $1 billion depending on Poolside’s fundraising progress; Poolside is said to be in talks to raise roughly $2 billion at a pre-money valuation near $12 billion, which would markedly increase its market value.
Poolside, which develops AI tools aimed at accelerating software development, has been building partnerships and securing large capital commitments for expansion, including prior investor support and infrastructure projects referenced on the company’s newsroom pages. Neither Nvidia nor Poolside had issued a public comment at the time of reporting; details such as final terms, timing and regulatory approvals remain unconfirmed and subject to change as the round closes.
