Mistral is reportedly in talks to raise $1B  | TechCrunch

French AI startup Mistral is in talks to raise up to $1 billion in equity from investors including Abu Dhabi’s MGX fund, reports Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter.

Mistral is also talking to French lenders like Bpifrance SACA to raise hundreds of millions of euros in debt, per Bloomberg. TechCrunch has reached out to Mistral for comment. 

Mistral, makers of the Le Chat chatbot, is one of the most significant players in the European AI landscape with a focus on open-weight LLMs. The startup has raised $1.19 billion to date at a $6.51 billion post-money valuation, according to PitchBook. Its last fundraise was a Series B in June 2024.

Mistral is already working with MGX – a government-backed $100 billion AI fund – and Nvidia to build Europe’s largest AI data center campus. The UAE has also committed to spending €50 billion on AI projects in France, part of French President Emmanuel Macron’s push for AI sovereignty.
