AI Reasoning: Crunchbase records show Martin Welzl invested in Veezoo (angel round) with an announcement in July 2017. However, additional sources indicate more recent activity: no newer investments found on LinkedIn, Medium, or other profiles. Given absence of evidence of investments within the last 6 months, but since the Crunchbase entry is old (2017), this suggests no recent activity. However user-provided description indicates ongoing investments; but independent searches did not find investments within past years. Because no verifiable investments within the last 6 months were found, classification should be ‘not-found’ by rules. Yet earlier tool output indicated an investment – Veezoo – but dated 2017 which is >12 months old, so tag should be ‘low-active’. The correct tag after calculating time since last known investment (July 2017) is ‘low-active’. Note: startup invested: Veezoo.

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.
