🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: Tracxn lists a Banana Capital investment in Bee on Jul 29, 2024. Using the required reference date, that investment was 15 months prior – however other sources (e.g., Tracxn shows multiple 2024 investments including Mar 12, 2024 Pok Pok and Jul 29, 2024 Bee). The most recent listed investment is Bee on Jul 29, 2024 which is 15 months prior to the reference date, which would normally classify as low-active. However, additional sources (LinkedIn posts and Tracxn) show activity in 2025 (Chris Bakke interview Apr 15, 2025) but do not list a 2025 investment. Given no definitive 2025 investment found, the latest concrete investment date is Jul 29, 2024, which is more than 12 months ago. Therefore the correct tag is ‘low-active’.
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.
