🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: low-active
AI Reasoning: Search of RiverVest news and external press releases found investments involving RiverVest through 2025 (e.g., Alleviant Medical financing announced 2025-01-14 and other 2025 posts), but no specific mention tying Derek Rapp personally to any investment more recently than July 2019 when he joined as Managing Director. The latest public association naming Derek Rapp on RiverVest team page exists, but no press credits listing him as lead investor or participant in 2024-2025 transactions were found. Therefore using the most conservative interpretation where Derek Rapp’s last individually attributable investment activity is over 12 months ago, classify as 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.
