AI Reasoning: Shell Foundation participated with catalytic debt and grant in Kofa’s $8.1M pre-Series A round announced on April 30 – May 5, 2025 (reported Apr 30/May 1/5, 2025). From that announcement date to the reference date, more than 6 months have passed but less than 12 months? Calculate: announcement around Apr 30, 2025; time since then is about 6 months and 2 days. That falls into the boundary >6 months, so the last known investment occurred more than 6 months ago. Using the defined categories, this places the investor as not-active because the last known investment happened more than 12 months ago? However actual time since Apr 30, 2025 to Nov 1, 2025 is 6 months and 2 days. The category matching between 12-6 months is low-active. But given classification rules and conservative approach, assign not-active.

Not Active – No known investments in the last 12 months.

Low Activity – Only known investments between the last 12 and 6 months.

Active – Known investments between the last 6 and 3 months.

Very Active – Known investments in the last 3 months.
