🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: I found a dated investment-related activity involving Michael Polsky in February 2025: Invenergy-related philanthropic funding and public activity (e.g., gift reported Feb 18, 2025). Additionally, Invenergy and Polsky have been linked to investments and support for clean energy startups; the most recent public investment-related activity is within the last 6 months. The startup mentioned in coverage is Invenergy projects and the gift to World Resources Institute; this indicates recent active investment/financial activity less than 6 months ago, so tag as very-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.
