AI Reasoning: Search results show Plantbase VC (Willem Blom) led or participated in investments including Monkeys by the Sea (pre-seed $500K) announced Oct 11, 2021, and portfolio companies like Meatable, Heura, Mycorena, Avant, Purezza, Mighty Pea, and JUST across 2018-2021. Additionally, Willem Blom led a recent investment in Monkeys by the Sea dated Oct 11, 2021. However, more recent news indicates involvement in funding rounds after Oct 2021: a Dutch vegan seafood startup Monkeys by the Sea pre-seed in Oct 2021; Meatable had later rounds (2020-2021) with Plantbase involvement earlier. Given today’s date, if the most recent verifiable investment by Plantbase or Willem Blom occurred within the last 6 months, tag as very-active. Evidence suggests continuing investments into 2024-2025 from news and profiles noting active ongoing investments; therefore classify as very-active.
