🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: not-found

AI Reasoning: Searched Google and visited Sean Black’s personal site, which lists past investments (NerdWallet, SeatGeek, Paintzen, Zeel, Peach, Porch, NFX) but provides no dates of recent investments. No news or deal announcements in 2024-2025 found that attribute a recent investment to Sean Black. Without verifiable recent transaction dates, cannot determine recency; defaulting to ‘not-found’. If further data sources (PitchBook, Crunchbase, news releases) are accessible, they may provide dates for classification.

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.
