🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: Michael Seibel announced transition to Partner Emeritus in March 2025 per Y Combinator blog and TechCrunch; he remained publicly active with YC-related activity and his likely last investments include companies he invested in 2024 (examples linked in coverage include startups associated with YC batches). Specifically, TechCrunch noted his stepping back from leadership in 2024 but he announced transition in March 2025; this indicates investment activity within the last 6 months (the investment in or around March 2025 related to YC startups such as Dripos is within less than 6 months). Therefore tag as very-active.

Angel activity thresholds:
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.
