If you have followed the industry of him, my mistral should be a well -known name so far. The French Startup with a $ 6 billion rating is undoubtedly the largest company that works in the Foundation models in Europe.
Alan, on the other hand, is not so popular. The health insurance has grown quietly to become a digital companion for your health. Over 680,000 people are covered by Alan’s insurance in a small portion of the countries.
The link between these two companies is Jean-Charles Samuelian-Wereve, Alan’s co-founder, CEO and co-founding adviser to the Mistral.
Bloomberg published a curious story explaining his role and some knowledge of the history of the mystery. “Arthur Mensch is the public face of the French champion of that mystery, but CEO of another startup has been critical of its $ 6 billion rating,” Bloomberg wrote. While Samuelian-Wers have been listed as a co-founding adviser since the beginning of my ministral, no one had attributed so many loans to establish and grow the French company.
According to Bloomberg, Samuelian-Weres without a boom and one who came before the chatgt’s publication. He initially contacted Xavier Niel, the billionaire of Telecom after Station F and Kima Ventures, to create a nonprofit organization.
But when Samuelian-Wereve met Arthur Mensch and other mistrole co-founders, he renounced the nonprofit idea in favor of what is now known as mystery. It is at the same time that Alan and Cto Charles Gorinin’s co-founder and former Digital Minister Cédric have also become the founding advisers of the Paris-based Juggernaut.
According to Bloomberg, Samuelian-Werve persuaded Lightspeed to run the initial round of my ministral and contacted many of the investors who ended up supporting him. We have contacted my mistral for a response to history and the merit attributing to Samuelian-Weres in its establishment and growth. We will update this post with any new information we receive.
In February 2024, Samuelian-Weres mentioned his interest in artificial intelligence when presenting Alan’s financial results.
“We continue to invest in him throughout Alan. As you may know, I am a co -founder and member of the Misral board. But this simply represents the fact that we have invested for a very long time in the one in Alan – even before the generation noise of him – how to reduce our management costs, to be more efficient in the market, to provide services more good and also to create new services, “Samuelian-Weres said at the time.” And of course in 2024 we will announce some new services related to the generating and that are very exciting for us. “
In November 2024, Alan introduced a chatbot with that named Mo. What makes it different from the usual chatbot is that the answers are controlled by a doctor within 15 minutes. They can either confirm medical advice or correct what is said in the conversation.
What about Xavier Niel? He ended up funding Kyutai, a French research lab, he focused on the (indeed) development of the open -source. But he did not fully divide the ways with mystery, as he also invested in the round of the Mistral Seed.
Today, the Mistral Office is still in the same building as the Alan office, near the Saint-Martin Canal in Paris. Samuelian-Werve and Mensch still meet once a week to discuss the strategy of my ministral. Alan is also a shareholder at the Mistral.
In Bloomberg’s profile, Samuelian-Wereve reiterated that the mistroral is not on sale, confirming what Mensch said a few days ago at the World Economic Forum in Davos. This topic – as well as the link between Alan and Mistral – will certainly be set up once again the next month during the action summit in Paris. But it’s worth remembering that you often hear that a company is not on sale when a company IS for sale – or at least some shareholders are pressuring to sell.
