🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: not-found
AI Reasoning: Searches for Doug Chertok and Vast Ventures (team pages, portfolio, Medium posts, Crunchbase) returned background information but no dated press or investment announcements showing recent (within 12 months) investment activity. Known past investments include Gobble and BarkBox from earlier years; I could not find any verifiable investment date in the past 12 months to classify as active. Given inability to identify recent investment dates, default to 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.
