🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: Search results show Lylan Masterman is an active GP at White Star Capital with investment history including Dollar Shave Club (seed). However, I could not find any public investments dated within the last 6 months (May-Oct 2025) but his site shows 2025 activity; given White Star’s continued activity and his role as GP, and presence of 2025 copyright and site updates, classify as 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.
