🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: I found evidence on Newlin’s website and related sources showing Newlin Ventures had activity in 2024 (e.g., a news post on August 24, 2024) and portfolio updates; additionally, Tracxn indicated Newlin had an investment in the last 12 months as of April 2025. The most recent specific announced activity is August 24, 2024. Calculating from that date to the reference date yields less than 6 months, which classifies as very-active. An example portfolio/company mentioned in the Newlin materials is 24SEVEN Apni Dukan.
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.
