Mistral AI recently opened applications for the first six-month cohort of Mistralship, its new startup program. As part of the program, Mistral AI will offer several benefits to the ten selected applicants, including 30K credits for La Plateforme, one-on-one support from its Solutions & Science team, and early access to new models and products. The application deadline is January 5, 2025.

Aspiring applicants must have a representative fill out the relevant form using a business email and ensure that their startup has an online presence or company website, was founded less than 7 years ago, and has not raised a Series B or later funding round. As a special provision, Mistral AI mentions that any startup fulfilling all requirements, but that has already raised a Series B+ round, can still fill out the form to apply for a separate offering.
