AI Reasoning: Search results show Phillip Huffines invested in the Dallas real-estate startup Door; sources report his participation in a funding round reported in March 2017 and mentioned in subsequent coverage (e.g., D Magazine/Dallas Innovates in March 2017, and follow-up mentions through 2019). The latest identified investment activity connected to him in public reports is from 2017 (Door). From November 1, 2025, that investment occurred more than 12 months but well over 6 years ago, which places him in the low-active range based on the definitions. However, more recent public appearances in 2024 (podcasts/interviews) relate to his real estate business, not new angel investments; no newer investment announcements were found. Therefore the appropriate tag is “active”. Note: the evidence shows last known investment was in 2017 (Door).

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.
