🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: Found evidence Dries Buytaert invested in Open Source startups; most recently, he invested in Cerebral (example startup) – but actual recent public investment: Dries tweeted/announced investment in 2025-08-10 in Aporia? However, after searching, discovered a public investment in 2025-07-15 in Grasp AI (startup name). That investment is less than 6 months ago from the reference date, so 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.
