🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: active

AI Reasoning: Found a Business Wire announcement (Mar 29, 2023) listing Softeq Venture Studio investments and naming specific startups such as AIM7, Avendly, ClioVis, Flometrica, Gophr, KarChing, Meander, MEedia, MeterLeader, PayOnDelivery, Picasso Analytics, Toivoa, UpBrainery Technologies, and WellWorth. The most recent identified investment date from Softeq (and Chris Howard as CEO and fund lead) is March 29, 2023, which is 19 months before the reference date, placing the investor beyond 12 months. However, there is evidence of activity in early 2024 (podcast/mentions in Feb 2024) about launching/scaling the venture studio, but no clear later investment dates found. Given the last verifiable investment date is March 29, 2023 (19 months prior), the appropriate tag 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.
