🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: TechCrunch reported Goodwater (Chi-Hua Chien) invested in Howbout on September 13, 2024. That investment is 13.6 months before Nov 1, 2025? Wait recalc: From Sep 13, 2024 to Nov 1, 2025 is 1 year 1 month 19 days = 13 months+; that’s >12 months. However also other sources show activity in 2025? Search results included Tracxn dated Oct 25, 2025 but that is after target date. No clear investments in 2025 found. The most recent confirmed investment found is Sep 13, 2024 (Howbout). That is more than 12 months ago, so tag should be 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.
