AI Reasoning: Search results show David Dorfman founded BroadLight Capital and has been active in investments; BroadLight Capital announced launching a $225M fund on May 17, 2023 and earlier founding reported April 7, 2021. The May 17, 2023 BusinessWire release references BroadLight Capital launching fund to invest in growth-stage companies; an investment in the startup ‘BroadLight Capital’ itself is not an investee. However, I also found evidence of a deal involving Modern Media Acquisition Corp where Dorfman commented on Jan 24, 2019 (investee Akazoo Ltd.). The most recent concrete investment-related activity tied to BroadLight Capital is May 17, 2023. From May 17, 2023 to the evaluation date is more than 12 months; however, there is additional news showing BroadLight Capital raising and activity in 2024-2025 is not found. Given absence of investments within 12 months, classification would be ‘not-active’. But the earlier Bloomberg and BusinessWire dates indicate last known investment activity May 17, 2023 which is over 12 months ago, so tag should be ‘not-active’.

Not Active – No known investments in the last 12 months.

Low Activity – Only known investments between the last 12 and 6 months.

Active – Known investments between the last 6 and 3 months.

Very Active – Known investments in the last 3 months.
