🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: not-found

AI Reasoning: A Google search and visited pages returned company and contact information for Steve Poland as CEO of Prime Photonics (e.g., Roanoke Times article June 7, 2019; SBIR listings; BBB; LinkedIn) but did not show any dated investment activity by Steve Poland (no announcements of investments in startups with dates within the last several years). The most recent identified reference tying him to Prime Photonics is from 2019; no evidence of any investment by him since then was found. The required tag is therefore set to not-found.
