🚀 Mistral just raised €3B in Europe's biggest tech round
Mistral AI closed a Series D at €3 billion, pushing its valuation past €21 billion. Three years old, still trailing OpenAI and Anthropic on raw capability, yet investors are betting on sovereignty not supremacy. Europe wants its own frontier lab, price be damned. This is a geopolitical hedge dressed up as a funding round.
Watch if that valuation buys market share or just buys time.
