AI Reasoning: I found evidence of University of Minnesota-affiliated investment activity: Atland Ventures, a student-owned venture capital firm tied to the University, raised a fund and has portfolio investments with a news date of May 27, 2025, and multiple University press releases (May 13, 2025) reporting startup funding activity by UMN startups between February and May 2025. The most recent documented investment activity is May 27, 2025 (investment or fund activity involving startups such as Knit, Dispatch, Tavolo). Calculating date difference from May 27, 2025 to the reference date shows the last known investment was between 6 and 3 months ago, which corresponds to the ‘active’ category.

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.
