🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: active
AI Reasoning: LinkedIn shows Shelly Cano Kurtz as co-founder of Giving Tech Labs and co-founder of Giving Compass Insights (formerly X4Impact) and co-founder/board member of Guardify (formerly VidaNyx). The profile indicates involvement with Giving Tech Labs through 2017-2023 and Giving Compass Insights (X4Impact) until 2022-11. Guardify (VidaNyx) shows ongoing role since 2018; however, specific investment events are not timestamped beyond company founding and activity. External public disclosures list X4Impact (now Giving Compass Insights) as a portfolio company; the latest identifiable investment-related activity tied to X4Impact/VidaNyx dates to 2022/2023, which is between 12 and 6 months ago relative to the reference date used for classification. Therefore the correct tag is ‘active’. The startup invested: X4Impact (Giving Compass Insights).
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.
