🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: Search found PitchBook entry that lists John Pappajohn’s most recent investment on 30-Sep-2020 in the company Inseer. That date is more than 12 months ago from the reference date, so classification should be ‘low-active’. However, additional local news shows activity in 2025 supporting entrepreneurial competitions but not direct investments. Given the clear PitchBook investment date (30-Sep-2020) and no evidence of investments within the past 12 months, the correct tag is 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.
