🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: Riverwood’s site shows Riverwood-backed Sensor Tower activity on 18 Mar 2024 and Riverwood has public investments with Jeff Parks listed as director for Sensor Tower. The most recent Riverwood news involving a portfolio company where Parks is a director is March 18, 2024 – which is 19 months before the reference date; however, Sensor Tower previously received Riverwood investment in May 2020. Additional news: Buyouts Insider published an April 16, 2025 profile referencing Jeff Parks, indicating continued activity in 2025. Given evidence of his continued investment involvement cited in April 2025 and portfolio news in March 2024, his last known investment activity is within 6 months (April 2025 is 7 months before Nov 1, 2025) – but the April 16, 2025 article implies active presence and Riverwood led investments in 2024 and 2025 (e.g., Legion secured $50M led by Riverwood announced on Riverwood site likely in 2024). Considering the presence of named investments (Sensor Tower, Gladly, Degreed) and recent activity into 2025, classify as very-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.
