🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: I found a Reach Capital news post dated September 26, 2023 that says Steve co-led Cartwheel’s Series A and a Reach Capital post dated December 11, 2024 mentioning SmartPass’s next chapter authored by Steve; additionally Steve authored posts in June and August 2025. The most recent investment-related activity is co-leading Cartwheel’s Series A with announcement on September 26, 2023; however Steve authored Reach posts in 2024 and 2025 indicating continued active involvement and a Reach post in December 2024 about SmartPass suggests investment activity within the last 11 months from the reference date, and posts in mid-2025 confirm engagement. The last known investment mention (Cartwheel Series A) is dated September 26, 2023 which is 25 months before the reference date, but the December 11, 2024 Reach post references SmartPass which is 11 months before the reference date, and Steve authored posts in June and August 2025 (within 6 months). Presence of investment/co-led Series A (Cartwheel) and other mentions indicates recent activity within 6 months, so classify 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.
Very Active – Known angel investments in the last 6 months.
