🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: I found a press release (September 19, 2025) stating Spring Free EV raised a financing round and that Sunil Paul continues to advise the company, indicating involvement around that date. Additionally, coverage from 2024 (Autoweek June 24, 2024) references Spring Free EV activity. The latest concrete financing mention is in Sep 2025 which is less than 6 months prior to the reference date used to classify the investor, so classify as very-active. Notable startup involved: Spring Free EV.
Angel activity thresholds:
