AI Reasoning: The Pet Care Innovation Prize (Purina-powered) awarded prizes to startups; most recent winner entries found include VEA/VEAVEA and Maven as 2025 winners (sources show winners announced March-April 2025). The latest documented prize awards occurred in March/April 2025 (VEAVEA/VEA as grand prize winner). From that date to the reference point used here, more than 6 months have passed but less than 12 months? Wait: March/April 2025 to November 1, 2025 is over 6 months (about 7-8 months). However classification bands: active = 6-3 months, low-active = 12-6 months, not-active = >12 months. The last known investment/prize award was in March/April 2025, which is between 6 and 12 months ago, so tag should be low-active. The startup named VEA (VEAVEA) was the grand prize winner. However the final required single tag output must be only the tag. Given the date calculation, correct tag: low-active.

Not Active – No known investments in the last 12 months.

Low Activity – Only known investments between the last 12 and 6 months.

Active – Known investments between the last 6 and 3 months.

Very Active – Known investments in the last 3 months.
