A financing round of French startup Mistral AI has brought in €385 million ($415 million), according to Bloomberg, which cites the company's statement. The agency estimates that the corporation is worth roughly $2 billion.
Lightspeed Ventures, the initial sponsor of Mistral AI, and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz led the investment round. They were joined by a number of additional investors.
Mistral AI CEO Arthur Mensch stated that the company is "following a clear trajectory: to create a European champion with a global purpose in artificial intelligence."
Bloomberg reported in early December that the startup might be valued at $2 billion. Mistral AI's three co-founders and three other insiders decided to sell shares for roughly €1 million each, with Cedric O, the former secretary of state for the digital economy in France, being one of them.
