BlockBeats News, August 1st, according to Fortune report, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said at Y Combinator Startup School 2026 that now is the best time in history to start a company. Young entrepreneurs should not overthink due to rapid technological changes or fear of failure. He advised that when facing challenges, the first question to ask oneself is, "How hard could it be?"

Jensen Huang mentioned that entrepreneurs do not need to have all the answers from day one. The key is to be willing to face reality and continue learning. NVIDIA had once bet on the wrong graphics technology in the early days, and when he didn't know how to solve the problem, he bought three technical textbooks for the engineers. He emphasized that as long as one maintains the ability to learn, the specific technology itself is not the most crucial factor.

However, Jensen Huang does not believe that success comes easily. He stated that he still works seven days a week and has long worried about the company's possible closure. This sense of vulnerability, uncertainty, and insecurity has never disappeared. His advice is not to anticipate all the difficulties in advance to prevent anxiety from hindering action, but rather to let the challenges come gradually and address them one by one.

According to data, in the first half of 2026, the number of business applications in the United States reached a record high of 3.23 million, a 12.1% year-on-year increase. However, the risk of entrepreneurship remains high. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that nearly half of businesses cease operations within 5 years of establishment.
