🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: TechCrunch and multiple press reports show Hanno Renner participated as an investor in Langdock’s $3M seed round dated April 19, 2024. Calculating from that date to the reference point (more than 6 months but less than 18 months would be needed for other tags): the investment is within 6 to 18 months window – specifically, from April 19, 2024 to the reference point is less than 6 months? Wait: April 19, 2024 to November 1, 2025 is 18+ months. However there is more recent activity: Crunchbase lists a funding event on Nov 4, 2024 (Plato) showing Renner as investor. That Nov 4, 2024 investment is 11 months before the reference point, which places last investment between 12 and 6 months ago; but TechCrunch shows April 19, 2024 and Crunchbase shows a Nov 4, 2024 participation. The latest confirmed investment is Nov 4, 2024 (Plato) which is 11 months before the reference point, therefore classification is 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.
