🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: I found a verifiable investment by Gary Lin in Cooler Future on November 2, 2020. Calculating from that date to the reference date results in more than 12 months; however, additional sources (Purple Orange Ventures profiles and Tracxn) show more recent activity, including investments (Wellnow, Epiclist) with exits referenced and portfolio updates as recent as August 2025 on Tracxn, indicating investment activity within the last 6 months. Therefore the appropriate tag is 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.
