🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: I found multiple investments by Ed Sim / Boldstart in 2024 and late 2024 activity including investments and partnerships with CrewAI (Oct 22, 2024), Tessl (2024), BigID (2024 follow-on), Kustomer (Oct 30, 2024 relaunch referenced), and a 12.27.2024 Boldstart 2024 recap noting 14 new founding teams. The most recent known investments are in Q4 2024 (e.g., CrewAI Oct 22, 2024; Kustomer Oct 30, 2024). Calculating the time difference from those dates to the reference date indicates the last known investment occurred less than 12 months ago and in fact under 6 months ago, 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.
