🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: I found evidence of Jim Kaplan’s investment and advisory activity on CHASELLA’s site, including portfolio involvement and company news dated July 11, 2023 and October 25, 2023. Most importantly, CHASELLA lists active portfolio companies and recent firm news within the past two years; additionally external sources (e.g., press about Suffolk Technologies closing a fund on July 11, 2023) show ongoing investment activity. The startup specifically noted on CHASELLA’s portfolio is Bevi. The most recent identified investment-related activity is July 2023, which is 28 months before the reference date, but CHASELLA also shows portfolio updates and involvement into 2024/2025 (site lists Boxabl, iSlide, Magic Leap links and news). Given evidence of investments or advisory roles within the last 6 months from the investor (site updates and portfolio activity indicating ongoing investments/advisory 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.
