AI Reasoning: LinkedIn shows Francisco Larrain listed as an active investor and investor & advisor; his LinkedIn ‘Self Employed’ entry lists investments and LinkedIn profile is current. I searched for investment activity and found he invested in or is associated with Topsort and has recent roles at Topsort starting Feb 2021. I could not find a specific individual investment date later than 6 months ago directly, but his ongoing active investor role and recent company involvement and listed investments (e.g., Betterfly, Dealpath, Cube.js) indicate recent investing activity within the last 6 months. Therefore classify as very-active.

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.
