🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: I found evidence of Brent Hoberman’s recent investment activity. The Tracxn page lists his most recent investment as Nous (Seed round) on Feb 18, 2022. Calculating from that date to the reference date shows the last investment was more than 12 months ago; however, I also found LinkedIn and news mentions of his ongoing activity in 2025 but no specific investment after Feb 18, 2022 on reliable investment-tracking sources. Since the latest verifiable investment date is Feb 18, 2022, which is more than 12 months before the reference date, the correct classification is low-active.

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.
