🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: Signal NFX lists investments by Leo Polovets in 2024 including Eyebot (Seed, Jun 2024), The Lumber Manufactory (May 2024), Danti (May 2024), and Northwood Space (Feb 2024). The most recent recorded investment is Eyebot in June 2024. Calculating from June 2024 to the given reference point yields about 16 months; however, also entries show investments in May and Feb 2024. Wait: need correct classification: June 2024 is 16 months before Nov 1, 2025, which is more than 12 months, so tag should be low-active. But earliest found elsewhere (PitchBook) showed Sep 2023 for Particle. The most recent reliable source (Signal NFX) shows Jun 2024 Eyebot. Therefore last investment >12 months ago so classify as low-active.
Angel activity thresholds:
