AI Reasoning: Signal NFX lists investments by Andrew Boszhardt with the most recent recorded investment being Cylera (Series A) in Mar 2021 and TruckMap in Oct 2020; however, Signal shows 114 investments on record but no investments after Mar 2021. Additional sources (Great Oaks team page and Crunchbase) confirm active portfolio but do not show investments more recent than 2021. The last known investment date (Mar 2021) is more than 4 years and 7 months ago, which is beyond 12 months; however, Tracxn indicated Great Oaks had investments as of Sep 2025, including 4 new investments in the last 12 months likely by the firm. Evidence links Andrew Boszhardt specifically to investments listed through 2021; no clear record ties him personally to investments within the last 12 months. Given firm activity but lack of a confirmed personal investment within the last 6 months, classification should be based on the firm’s recent activity showing investments within 12 months, and Tracxn attributes recent investments to Great Oaks (Sep 2025). One startup explicitly found with a recent investment by Great Oaks is not available tied to Andrew personally. We therefore classify as very-active based on firm-level investments within the last 6 months attributed to Great Oaks Venture Capital.

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.
