🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: not-found
AI Reasoning: I searched multiple reputable sources (news articles, profiles, Crunchbase, Wikipedia, The Information, Fast Company, NBC) for Joel Simkhai’s recent angel or venture investments and could not find any public record of him investing in startups with dates within the past several years. The most visible activity is founding Motto (announced 2022) and past exits (Grindr). No reported investments (e.g., named startup investments) were found between 2023-2025. Given the lack of evidence of any investment activity, the appropriate classification is 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.
