The French startup Mistral, specializing in artificial intelligence, is at the center of attention with an impressive fundraising round in preparation. The company is seeking to obtain 3 billion euros in funding during its Series D round, which would bring its valuation to approximately 20 billion euros. This significant financial operation could be led or co-led by the EU Scaleup Fund, which has a 5 billion euro envelope and is administered by EQT. In a recent podcast, journalist Daphné Leprince-Ringuet joined Freya Pratty to discuss the implications of this fundraising. They explored the potential role of the EU Scaleup Fund in this transaction and mentioned other actors who could join in. At the same time, Mistral is adopting a new strategy by positioning itself as a European rival to Palantir, a well-known American company for its data analysis solutions. This repositioning could have a significant impact on Mistral's valuation, thus influencing the price of its latest funding round.
