Well, two engineers and one mathematician IIRC.

I don't expect any single article to cover all the details of a company that just passed it's 30th year. And even then, they're missing bits of lore, like the CEO playing ping pong as a teenager (see https://engineering.stanford.edu/news/jen-hsun-huang-nvidia-...).

This WIRED article from 2002 gives an interesting snapshot of the same company and CEO:

  Meet Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, the man who plans to make the CPU obsolete.

  - Quote: "What we can do in the next five years is going to blow your mind. In 10 years, we should be bigger than Intel." (which took until July 2020)
Then you can see how things evolved by the 2009/2010 timeframe, plus where they thought they might be headed:
