AI Reasoning: I searched multiple reputable sources (official site, Crunchbase, Wikipedia, news articles) for evidence of Tom Douglas making identifiable startup or investment transactions. Results show his activities are restaurateur operations, pandemic aid, and hosting an incubator event in 2014, but no verifiable records of specific investments with dates or a recent funding event. Because no concrete investment entries or dates were found to calculate recency, the default tag is used.
