AI Reasoning: White Star Capital’s lead of Petfolk’s Series A is dated August 24, 2022. From that date to November 1, 2025 is about 38 months (over 3 years), well beyond a 12‑month window. No more recent investments were found, so under the activity rule (investment within 12 months = active), the correct classification is “low-active”. The prior “very-active” label was contradictory to the dated evidence and has been corrected.

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.
