Ownership & control

Reported

Mixed ownership, no clear EU control

Changed from eu-private: no source found establishes who controls the company. ASML (Netherlands) led the Series C and holds about 11 per cent fully diluted with an advisory seat only, and the same round brought in non-EU investors including DST Global, Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Lightspeed and NVIDIA. Significant non-EU shareholding with no documented controlling stake is what "mixed" describes. The French register could not be reached from this environment to check the shareholder list.
