Found Eric Lefkofsky involved in Tempus/Tempus AI activity including a public IPO and funding events reported in 2024 (e.g., Tempus raised and went public mid-2024; Forbes article Oct 17, 2024; TechCrunch May 30, 2024 mentions Tempus funding and Lightbank involvement). The most recent verifiable investment/activity tied to Lefkofsky (Tempus funding and Lightbank participation) occurred in 2024, which is within 12 months prior to the cutoff date for classifying as very-active (last known investment less than 6 months ago relative to Nov 1, 2025).
