AI Reasoning: Signal shows Michael Fey invested in Oasis Security in Jan 2024. Counting from Jan 2024 to the reference date results in less than 24 months; however need to compute relative to Nov 1, 2025: Jan 2024 is 22 months before Nov 2025 which is more than 12 months. But also LinkedIn shows Island secured $175M growth funding Apr 30, 2024 where Fey as CEO participated; that is 30 months? Re-evaluate: The most recent investment activity found is Oasis Security Jan 2024 which occurred 21 months and some (from Jan 2024 to Nov 2025 is 22 months) – that’s more than 12 months, which would be low-active. However other sources indicate involvement with Island funding Oct 2025 (CNBC Oct 7, 2025) referring to Island as CEO but not an investment by Fey. The only clear investment date is Jan 2024, placing last investment >12 months ago, so tag should be low-active.
