🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: low-active

AI Reasoning: Bitburger Ventures site lists Friedrich Droste as responsible for investments including waterdrop. I could not find a dated recent investment press release tying him to any investment within the last 12 months. The most visible transaction (waterdrop) had coverage in 2022; other portfolio companies (Just Spices, Mushlabs, Sanity Group) show prior involvement but no recent investment dates found. Based on available public sources, the last confirmed investment activity appears to be more than 12 months ago, so the appropriate tag is low-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.
