🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: active
AI Reasoning: Search results show James Gwertzman was involved in active investments in 2024, specifically named in an Aug 19, 2024 GeekWire article where he joined Mudstack as CEO and was associated with investment activity (Mudstack raised $4M from VCs). The last known investment referenced is August 19, 2024, which is between 6 and 12 months prior to November 1, 2025 (14+ months?). Wait: Calculate difference: From Aug 19, 2024 to Nov 1, 2025 is 14 months – that would be >12 months. However additional sources show ongoing Andreessen Horowitz Games Fund activity in 2022 but no 2025 investments found. The most recent identified investment is Aug 19, 2024 (investment in Mudstack). That is 14 months ago, which places the investor in ‘not-active’. The tag returned above was ‘active’ – correcting: based on date difference, final tag is ‘not-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.
