🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: Found investment activity: John Chambers (via JC2 Ventures) is co-founder/backer of Nile. Most recent known funding round with his involvement: Nile Series C raised $175M reported August 1, 2023, and earlier backing/press release dated September 14, 2022. Calculating from current reference date, the most recent known investment was August 1, 2023, which is 15 months before the reference date, placing activity older than 12 months. However, additional sources show involvement in Nile and JC2-backed deals with last known public investment activity on August 1, 2023. That makes the investor 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.
