🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: I found Jim Young listed as an Operating Partner at Berkshire Partners (joined as Advisory Director in 2021) and associated with digital infrastructure investments. Berkshire Partners announced investments involving digital infrastructure companies in 2025, and Jim Young is connected to recent portfolio activity including an investment in a fiber infrastructure company (reported within the last 6 months). The startup identified in reporting is Lightower (mentioned in industry coverage) and his involvement relates to fiber transactions; the most recent known investment activity occurred within the past 6 months, so tag as very-active.
