Assessment

Why?

Strongest counted support: Equity investments were valued at $99 billion as of July 26. weight 1.800000 evidence

Strongest counted contradiction: DealRoom reports roughly $780 billion combined AUM for 18 major venture capital firms. weight 1.800000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The excerpt supports only that Nvidia's equity investments were valued at $99 billion as of July 26; it does not address comparison with all venture-capital assets under management.
