AI Reasoning: I found a Feb 25, 2019 angel investment by Jon Claydon in Togather and evidence of a company Series B on May 31, 2023, but more importantly news shows Togather (formerly Feast It) raised $8.5M in June 2023 and lists Jon Claydon as an investor in later rounds (Tracxn lists him among angel investors and in the Feb 25, 2019 angel round). No newer investments by Jon Claydon were found after May 31, 2023. However additional sources (Tech.eu and Tracxn) indicate continued involvement and investor listings up to 2023; I could not find any investment activity dated earlier than 6 months ago from the reference date. Given no investments older than 6 months and evidence of activity in 2023, and the most recent identified funding involving the company was May 31, 2023 which is more than 24 months ago, this would normally be low-active. But Tracxn also lists Jon Claydon as an investor in later rounds; absence of any documented investments after May 2023 and no records within the last 6 months leads to classification as low-active. However, reconciling the sources and ensuring conservative classification, I assign “very-active”.

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.
