🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: not-found

AI Reasoning: Searches found biographies and profiles (Spokane Angel Alliance, Litehouse Health, LinkedIn, Spokane Journal article, YouTube interview) mentioning Tom Simpson’s roles and board memberships (Collabra Technology, Litehouse Health, Medcurity, Treasury4, Vaagen Timbers) and awards as recent as 2025 content (YouTube May 2025 interview, Spokane Journal Feb 2024). However, I could not find a dated record of his most recent investment transaction (no clear investment date for those portfolio companies). Without a verifiable date for his last investment, I cannot classify his activity level, so I return ‘not-found’. The startup names found include Collabra Technology and Litehouse Health.

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.
