🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: not-found
AI Reasoning: Search results show Jay Shapiro as founder/CEO of Usiku Games and Chair of PAGG with recent public posts in 2025, but I could not find verifiable public records or press reporting of any specific investment transactions or dates (e.g., angel investment timing in Calm is referenced but undated). Without a clear date for his last known investment I cannot determine recency. Therefore defaulting to not-found.
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.
