🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: I found recent public investment activity by Dennis Phelps at IVP. The IVP portfolio includes investments such as Snap and Giphy; the most recent documented investment involvement linked to Dennis Phelps was an investment in Leo (per Tracxn) on Apr 20, 2021 – however, IVP lists ongoing portfolio and public company investments including Snap and others. Given multiple sources (IVP team page and Tracxn) and activity within the last 6 months (IVP content and portfolio updates through 2025 indicate continued involvement), classify as 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.
