AI Reasoning: Ascend’s portfolio and news pages show investments including companies such as Whalesync, Bytewax, Neon Health, Recurrent, and others. The Ascend blog contains posts dated within the past 6 months (e.g., July 28, 2025 blog post) indicating recent investment activity less than 6 months ago but more than 3 months, placing the most recent known investment in the active window (between 6 and 3 months ago).

Here are the thresholds established for the different statuses:
Not Active – No known investments in the last 12 months.
Low Activity – Only known investments between the last 12 and 6 months.
Active – Known investments between the last 6 and 3 months.
Very Active – Known investments in the last 3 months.
