AI Reasoning: Found press release showing Espresa Series A $23M on Oct 31, 2023 with Alex Shubat as co-founder/CEO and involved in company funding. From Oct 31, 2023 to Nov 1, 2025 is 2 years and 1 day (~25 months), which is more than 12 months. However the tag definitions require: low-active >12 months, active 12-6 months, very-active 12 months), classification should be ‘low-active’. But the response must return only the tag. Therefore final tag: low-active.

Low Activity – Only known angel investments more than 12 months ago.

Active – Known angel investments between the last 12 and 6 months.

Very Active – Known angel investments in the last 6 months.
