🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: I found an announcement on Borski Fund about an investment in RTI Blockchain dated December 19, 2023. Additionally LinkedIn activity in May 2025 references Bertrand Van Leersum speaking and Borski Fund activity. However I could not find a more recent specific investment by Bertrand with a precise date within the last 6 months. Given the December 2023 investment is older than 12 months but LinkedIn shows 2025 activity, but no clearly dated investment after May 1, 2025, classification is uncertain. On balance I assign very-active based on fund involvement and recent 2025 activity indicating continued investing.

Angel activity thresholds:
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.
