🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: I found multiple 2024 and 2025 deal/award listings involving Bridgepoint where Matt Plooster is CEO and referenced transactions in 2024 (e.g., Private Equity Deal of the Year: Sale of Garner Industries to Shoreview Capital in 2024; 2024 Americas Growth Equity Deal of the Year). The most recent deal references are in 2024, within less than 6 months from the reference date used for classification, and also Bridgepoint had activity through 2025 publications (Midlands Business Journal Feb 21, 2025). Specifically, Bridgepoint advised on the sale of Garner Industries, Inc. to Shoreview Capital (2024). The recency of deal activity places the investor in the highest activity band.
