🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: low-active
AI Reasoning: From reliable biographical sources and portfolio listings (e.g., Wikipedia and associated bios) Joichi Ito’s publicly documented angel investments (Flickr, Kickstarter, FormLabs, Twitter) are historically earlier-stage and no verifiable investment announcement attributable to him personally was found within the last 12 months. The most recent public activity references (e.g., involvement with initiatives and speaking events) do not disclose a personal investment in a startup within the past year. The last clearly dated investments attributed to him in public records are older than 12 months; for example, investment in FormLabs and Kickstarter occurred many years earlier. 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.
