🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: active

AI Reasoning: Search results show a LinkedIn profile for Johnson Yang at General Catalyst but no clear recent investment announcements linked directly to him beyond 2024 portfolio activity by General Catalyst (e.g., Aug 14, 2024 investment). I found no explicit investment by Johnson Yang after August 14, 2024. From Nov 1, 2025 this is about 14.5 months since that General Catalyst investment; therefore the investor falls into the low-active category. The startup associated with the nearest dated investment is the company in General Catalyst’s Aug 14, 2024 portfolio story (U.S. manufacturing-focused startup). Given limited direct attribution, confidence is medium.

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.
