If you are following the AI industry, Mistral should be a familiar name. The $ 6 billion of the French AI startup is probably the largest AI company working on basic models in Europe.
Alan is not so famous. The health insurance unicorn is growing quietly as a digital companion of your health. More than 680,000 people are covered by Alain insurance in some countries.
It is Jean Charles Samulian Warve, the CEO of Alain’s co -founder and co -founding advisor of Alan, linking these two companies.
Bloomberg has published an interesting article explaining some insights about his role and the story of the mistoll origin. “Arthur Menshu is the public face of Mistral, a French AI champion, but the $ 6 billion of the $ 6 billion is an important role in another emerging company,” Bloomberg wrote. Samuelian-Werve has been a joint advisor since the establishment of the Mistral, but no one has recognized his achievements in the establishment and growth of French AI companies.
According to Bloomberg, Samuelian-WERVE had seen the AI boom coming before the release of Chatgpt. He first contacted Xavier Niel, a billionaire in communication f that is behind the station and Kima Ventures, to establish an AI non -profit organization.
However, when Samuelian-WERVE met Arthur Mensch and other co-founders of Mistral, he abandoned non-profit ideas and supported a company, which is currently known as Mistral. Alan’s co -founder and CTO, CTO, Charles Goldor, and former Digital Minister Cedrick O are almost also assigned to the establishment of AI giant companies based in Paris. It’s the same time.
According to Bloomberg, Samurrian Warbu persuaded Light Speed to lead the Mistral’s Seed Round, contacted many investors, and eventually supported the AI startup. We responded to Mistral to the story and in search of the Samuel Warve’s achievements in the establishment and growth of Mistral. If you receive new information, update this post.
In February 2024, SAMUELIAN-WERVE mentioned his interest in artificial intelligence when he announced ALAN’s financial results.
“We continue to invest in AI throughout Alan, as you may know, but I’m a co -founder of Misral, but it reduces management costs and the most in the market. The purpose is to provide the best services, and to create new services, “said Samurrian Warb at the time. “And in 2024, we plan to announce some new services that are related to the generated AI.”
In November 2024, Alan introduced the chatbot “MO” utilizing AI. MO is different from a normal chatbot that the answer is checked by a doctor within 15 minutes. They can check medical advice and modify what they said in the conversation.
About Zavier Neil? He finally provided funds to Kyutai, a French AI Research Institute, focusing on (true) open source AI development. However, he has invested in a Mistral Sea Dround and has not completely separated from Mistral.
Even today, the Mistral office is in the same building as Alan’s office near the Saint -Martin Canal in Paris. Samurinian Verve and Menshu still have a meeting once a week and discuss Mistral’s strategy. Alain is also a Mistral shareholder.
In the Bloomberg profile, Samuel Warve repeatedly, Mistral, who was not a sale, confirmed what Menshu stated in the World Economic Forum in Davos a few days ago. This topic, and the relationship between Alan and Mistral will be taken up again at the AI Action Summit in Paris next month. However, it is worth remembering that it is not a sale when a company is sold, or at least some shareholders are putting pressure on the sale.
