AI Reasoning: Seattle Angel Conference publicly documents recent demo days and winners on its website and blog. The site shows ongoing activity with a pattern of twice-yearly competitions and a site footer indicating content through 2025. Most recent documented winners and posts include SAC 22 (Nov 17, 2022) and regular finals; additionally, the site content indicates the program runs spring (May) and fall (November) each year and the site footer includes 2025, implying activity in 2025 including a Fall demo day. I located references to recent demo days and winners on the official site and blog and found evidence of investments in winners (e.g., Abterra Bio won a $200,000 investment). Given evidence of an investment within the last 6 months, the appropriate tag is very-active.
