AI Reasoning: I found an investment by Melinda Rogers in the startup Skinnyscoop dated November 19, 2012. Calculating the time since that investment exceeds 12 years, which is well beyond the 12-month threshold, so the appropriate tag is the equivalent of ‘low-active’.

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.
