🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: Search found a Bloomberg article (June 6, 2024) indicating Gideon Yu actively raising a $500M fund tied to Alphabet’s X in mid-2024, and other profiles list recent activity (e.g., involvement with EVA Automation, board positions). Additionally, sources show ongoing activity into 2025 (CaproAsia May 30, 2025 reporting his fund activity). The most recent verifiable investment-related activity is within the past 6 months from the reference date used, including involvement with new fund formation and reported fundraising in 2025, and mentions of investments/spinouts – for example reporting activity related to X spinouts. Therefore classify as very-active.
