🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: not-found

AI Reasoning: Searches on Crunchbase and other sources show Tom Hughes as Idealab co-founder with past advisory roles and one listed angel investment in Dashbell, but the available records do not provide a verifiable announcement date for that investment or any investment activity in the past several years. Recent activity listed on Crunchbase ends in 2019, and I could not find a dated investment after November 1, 2024. Because no verifiable recent investment date was found to classify recency, default to not-found.

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.
