AI Reasoning: I found a press release noting a GO PA Fund investment in Rimsys on Sept 11, 2024, and multiple Ben Franklin press releases showing funding approvals and investments in 2025 (notably Jan 29, 2025 leadership transition announcement referencing investments and Aug 6, 2025 approval of nearly $6.5M to 28 companies). The most recent specific investment activity is Aug 6, 2025 funding approvals which is less than 6 months before the reference date, indicating the investor has made investments within the last 6 months. One startup explicitly named as invested is Rimsys (GO PA Fund invested Sept 11, 2024 in Rimsys). Therefore tag as very-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.
