Davis, who led design for several Nvidia gaming products, brought up an idea for how the company could build an educational ecosystem. Huang challenged him to move beyond theory and prove the concept. Instead, the Nvidia CEO urged him to build something. "'If you can show me, then we can talk about it,'" Davis recalls Huang telling him. "And that was a good reality check for me."
