🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: Found evidence Chris Messina is actively investing through Ride Home Fund and as an angel. TechCrunch reported the launch of Ride Home AI Fund (Aug 9, 2023) and sources (Tracxn, Crunchbase, news articles) show investments and portfolio activity continuing into 2025 – including portfolio entries updated July 17, 2025. The most recent known investment activity is within the last 6 months (a portfolio update in July 2025 indicates continued investment activity, and public profiles list active angel investments such as Raycast). Therefore classification is ‘very-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.
