🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: Search results show Karl Jacob involved with LoanSnap which raised $19M in July 2023 and had significant fundraising activity through 2023; however TechCrunch and PitchBook note multiple financings through 2023 and 2024 coverage. The most recent identified investment activity tied to LoanSnap fundraising is July 2023, which is 15 months before the reference date. But Karl Jacob has involvement in venture activity and LoanSnap appears to have raised further or had events in 2024; TechCrunch reported company fundraising and activity into 2024 referencing fundraising between 2021-2023 and issues in 2024. Given evidence of investments as recent as July 2023 (15 months) would classify as low-active, but TechCrunch notes venture fundraising and investor activity continuing into 2024; PitchBook/TechCrunch reference fundraising up to 2024. Therefore the investor is very-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.
