AI Reasoning: I searched HealthTech Capital, Anne DeGheest’s profile, LinkedIn, news releases, and portfolio pages. These sources document her historical founding/angel roles and past portfolio companies (e.g., Pyxis/CareFusion, Aspect Medical, VISX, Thermage/Solta Medical, VISICU, Masimo, Omnicell) but show no verifiable investments, press releases, or funding events dated within the last three years (2023-2025). Given the absence of evidence for recent investment activity, the correct classification is “not-found.”

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.
