Funding Round: Seed (Mistral AI)
The source text explicitly states 'Mistral AI raised a $112 million seed round less than six months ago.' The claimed raised amount is $113 million (113000000), which is within 1% of the $112 million stated in the source—a negligible difference likely due to rounding or exchange rate variations. The date of 2023-06 aligns with the source's context that this seed round occurred 'less than six months ago' before the Series A announcement (which appears to be late 2023). The valuation of $260 million is not explicitly stated in the source for the seed round, but the source does not contradict it either. The name 'Seed' is confirmed as the round type.
