🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: Crunchbase shows Christopher Lien’s most recent investment was in ArcSpan Technologies (seed) with announcement date Dec 15, 2021. Calculating from that date to the reference date results in more than 12 months? However external sources show Marin Software bankruptcy July 2025 but investment activity: Crunchbase indicates latest investment Dec 15, 2021 which is more than 12 months ago – this would be low-active. But other data (no investments found after Dec 2021). Given inconsistency, use latest investment Dec 15, 2021 which is older than 12 months, 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.
