🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: I found a PR Newswire release showing Traction Capital invested in Kwikly on Feb 9, 2021, and multiple sources (including Traction Capital press releases and PR Newswire / PR posts) showing Fund II launch and activity in June 24, 2025 and an investment mention in Jan 2025 (Atlasticity). The most recent verifiable investment/activity is in 2025 (Fund II announcement June 24, 2025 and Jan 14, 2025 investment mention). The most recent investment activity is less than 6 months ago from today, indicating the ‘very-active’ classification. The startup mentioned: Kwikly.

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.
