AI Reasoning: I found OE press releases showing funding awards. The most recent named funding announcements on the Office of Electricity site with project selections are dated June 25, 2025 and July 30, 2025, but those pages either list project selections without specific company startup names; earlier OE funding announcements in 2024/2023 show specific recipients such as a microgrid project awarded to a named company. The last specific investment to a startup/recipient with a named company I found was in mid-2024 (e.g., an OE-funded microgrid project awarded in 2024 to a named partner). Calculating from today, the last clearly attributable investment to a startup was more than 12 months ago, so the investor is classified as not-active.

Not Active – No known investments in the last 12 months.

Low Activity – Only known investments between the last 12 and 6 months.

Active – Known investments between the last 6 and 3 months.

Very Active – Known investments in the last 3 months.
