🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: low-active
AI Reasoning: Searches show Jimmy Wales’ recent ventures include Wikitribune (launched 2017) and WT Social / Trust Café (launched 2019). I found no evidence of any investment by Jimmy Wales in 2024-2025 or within the last 12 months. The most recent known activity tied to founding or funding is WT Social/Trust Café from 2019 and public involvement in Wikimedia; the last known investment-related activity is more than 12 months ago (years), e.g., investment/launch of WT Social (2019) and Wikitribune (2017). Therefore classify as low-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.
