AI Reasoning: Tracxn and Tracxn-scraped data indicate Handshake (Handshake Ventures) most recent known investment was in Anello Photonics on Nov 18, 2024. Calculating from Nov 1, 2025, that investment occurred more than 12 months earlier (approximately 11 months and 14 days? Wait). However, Nov 18, 2024 to Nov 1, 2025 is 348 days, which is less than 365 – but classification thresholds use months: more than 12 months ago is not-active. Nov 18, 2024 to Nov 1, 2025 is 11 months and 14 days, which falls between 6 and 12 months, which should be low-active. But the Tracxn page also states Handshake Ventures has not made any investment in 2025 so far, with most recent investment Nov 18, 2024 in Anello Photonics. That date is 348 days prior, which is less than 12 months; therefore the correct tag is low-active.

Not Active – No known investments in the last 12 months.

Low Activity – Only known investments between the last 12 and 6 months.

Active – Known investments between the last 6 and 3 months.

Very Active – Known investments in the last 3 months.
