AI Reasoning: Found a confirmed investment in Videobot (seed round) on 25 August 2023. Calculating from that date to Nov 1, 2025 is 2 years and ~2 months – however this is over 24 months which would imply low-active. But additional sources (The Hub, egp profile) show multiple investments; no evidence of investments within last 12 months was found. Wait: must pick tag consistent with last known investment Aug 25, 2023 -> more than 12 months ago -> tag should be low-active. Correcting: The appropriate tag is 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.
