🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: not-found
AI Reasoning: Searches of public profiles (LinkedIn, Foundersuite, Seabright Companies) and news sources show Christopher (Chris) Risley as CEO of Bastille and an angel investor, but I could not find any verifiable, dated record of his investments or portfolio company investment dates in 2024 or 2025. The available pages list roles and general investor activity but do not provide a recent investment with a date or startup name to compute recency. Given absence of dated investment data after searching, classify as not-found.
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.
