🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: I found press releases showing Vensana led or participated in investments: iVEAcare Series A closed April 22, 2024 and Elucent Medical Series C closed April 10, 2024. Both are within 18 months of the reference date. The most recent of these investments occurred April 22, 2024, which is 18 months and 10 days before the reference date, meaning it is more than 12 months ago; however, there is also Vensana Fund III closing Jan 9, 2025 which indicates continued activity but is a fund close, not an investment in a startup. The latest clear startup investment involving Vensana is April 2024; that places last investment >12 months ago, which corresponds to low-active. But Kirk Nielsen is listed as Managing Partner at Vensana and has been involved in investments like iVEAcare (Apr 22, 2024) and Elucent Medical (Apr 10, 2024). Given that the most recent direct startup investment date found is Apr 22, 2024 (more than 12 months ago), the correct classification 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.
