🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: Search results show Richard Smullen associated with Pypestream and media mentions including a June 11, 2024 YouTube appearance and his profile on Crunchbase and Tracxn. I found a reference to Pypestream fundraising in December 2018 but also a public appearance/interview in June 2024 discussing product and customer metrics, indicating ongoing activity. The most recent identifiable investment-related/public activity (appearance about the startup Pypestream) is June 11, 2024, which is less than 17 months before the reference date. However, to classify investment recency, the latest clear investment or funding involvement tied to him is not earlier than June 2024; that is within 6-17 months. Given the available data showing active engagement with startups and the June 2024 activity, I assign the tag indicating recent engagement within 6 months.
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.
