AI Reasoning: Found evidence Nick (Nicholas) Chirls formed Asylum Ventures and raised a $55M fund and was active in 2024 (NYT Sept 5, 2024) after leaving Notation; his firm invested in startups (article references investments and founding of Asylum Ventures). The most recent documented activity is September 2024, which is within 6-14 months prior to the reference date; calculating difference from that date places his last known investment activity less than 6 months before today, indicating very recent activity.
