AI Reasoning: Search of The Francis Crick Institute spin-outs and entrepreneurship pages and related sources found multiple company spin-outs and collaborations (e.g., Adendra Therapeutics, Myricx Pharma, Artios Pharma, Achilles Therapeutics) but no evidence that The Francis Crick Institute itself made a direct equity investment in a startup within the past 12 months. The most recent dated activity on Crick pages relates to spin-out launches in 2021 and earlier, and available press does not show a Crick-led investment event in the 2024-2025 period. Because no clear record of the institute making a direct investment within the required recent timeframe was found, and the task instructions say to return “not-found” when unable to find information about the investor’s investment activity, return not-found.

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

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