🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: Found a Synadia blog post dated Feb 22, 2024 announcing a $25M Series B for Synadia; Derek Collison is founder/CEO and authored the post mentioning the funding. The investment activity (founder-led funding announcement) is within 21 months of Nov 1, 2025? Wait must calculate: From Feb 22, 2024 to Nov 1, 2025 is 1 year, 8 months, 10 days = 20+ months, which is >12 months. However also LinkedIn post noted ‘1 year ago’ (likely Oct/Nov 2024). But the latest verified is Feb 22, 2024 which is older than 12 months, meaning tag should be low-active. The startup invested: Synadia.

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.
