“Nvidia's venture arm, NVentures, has invested in Swedish AI legal tech Legora at a $5.6 billion valuation, as the chip giant continues to ramp up startup funding across the globe.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE

The web search results focus on Legora's valuation and funding rounds, not Nvidia's investment.

“AI startups in Europe have raised $15.1 billion so far this year, according to Dealroom, which is on track to surpass the $21.6 billion picked up in 2025.”
