AI Reasoning: Business Wire press release dated July 15, 2025 reports GV (Google Ventures) led Crash Override’s $28M seed round. That investment is less than 3 months prior to November 1, 2025 (about 3.5 months?) Wait compute: from July 15 to Nov 1 is 3.5 months – that’s more than 3 months. But search results also show TechCrunch Sept 17, 2025 article where GV doubled down on Blacksmith and earlier seed in May; Sept 17 is within less than 3 months of Nov 1 (about 1.5 months). TechCrunch Sept 17, 2025: GV doubled down on Blacksmith after seed in May – indicates GV participated in a Sept 17 investment in Blacksmith. Therefore the most recent known investment is Sept 17, 2025 in Blacksmith (TechCrunch). That is less than 3 months before Nov 1, 2025, so classify as very-active. Startup invested: Blacksmith. Additional supporting investment: Crash Override on Jul 15, 2025 led by GV. Combined evidence shows GV made an investment on Sept 17, 2025 (Blacksmith).
