🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: I found evidence of Sam (Samuel) Lessin’s public activity and investments within the past 6 months: a 2025 update and related commentary in April 2025 referencing his ongoing investment work, and his portfolio entries updated in mid-2025 (Tracxn, NFX/Signal) indicating investments in 2025. One specific startup noted in sources is Fin (founder/co-founded) and portfolio entries list recent seed investments. The most recent documented investments are within 6 months, so tag 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.
