🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: active

AI Reasoning: SETO announced multiple funding notices and awards in the past year, including the FY25 SMASH Incubator Notice of Funding Opportunity on January 8, 2025, and other funding notices and awards in late 2024 (e.g., SolWEB2 on December 23, 2024). Additionally, DOE-funded awards to startups (e.g., Fram Energy receiving a Solar Prize in March 2025 coverage) indicate investment activity within the last 10 months. The most recent public SETO funding announcements are within 6 months to 11 months prior, so the investor is classified as active.

Here are the thresholds established for the different statuses:
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.
