🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: I found recent activity from Ryan Born in 2025: his site notes HAAWK company milestones and posts in 2025 (e.g., April 28, 2025 announcement). Additionally, public profiles (LinkedIn, Wellfound) show ongoing CEO role and company activity. While specific new angel investments in startups like NewCondosOnline and Internet Marketing Inc. are older, the presence of recent company activity and public announcements in 2025 indicates investment/operational activity within the last 6 months. The invested startup mentioned on his site is NewCondosOnline (angel) and InternetMarketingInc (angel). Time since last known investment/activity is less than 6 months, so 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.
