AI Reasoning: Searches found recent public investment records for Nick Hanauer predominantly from 2021 and earlier (e.g., investment in Knack in Nov 2021 and Qliance in 2011). Second Avenue Partners’ own news page shows media items with latest investment mentions around 2014; no verifiable investments in 2024-2025 were found on authoritative sources (Second Avenue Partners site, news outlets, Tracxn, Wikipedia).
