AI Reasoning: CB Insights shows ARC Angel Fund investments with the most recent dated 11/4/2021 (Supie) and ARC-related activity includes a portfolio exit in 1/18/2024 (Supie asset sale), but no individual Tom Nicholson investment dates after 2021 were found. The last explicit investment by ARC/Tom Nicholson that could be attributed is 11/4/2021 (Supie). From that date to the target date is more than 12 months but less than many years; specifically, 11/4/2021 is over 4 years prior. However, because ARC had a portfolio exit in 1/18/2024, there is evidence of fund activity in 2024 but no clear sign that Tom Nicholson personally made investments within the last 12 months. Given the lack of any investment by Tom Nicholson within the past 12 months and at least one sign of activity within a 12-60 month window, classify as active.

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.
