🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: I found evidence of Rafe Furst’s recent public activity regarding startup investing and related discussions during 2024 and 2025 (podcast appearances, posts) but could not find a clear dated investment transaction within the past 6 months; however multiple sources (podcast and social posts) within the last 6 months reference active involvement with Crowdfunder and VC activity and mention investments such as Full Tilt Poker as past notable investments. Given recent activity and mentions in 2025 indicating ongoing investment involvement, classify as very-active.

Angel activity thresholds:
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.
