🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: I found multiple reports (Forbes, GlobalVenturing, UTEC press release) that UTEC launched/closed its sixth fund and made investments/announcements in July 2025, and the firm is actively deploying capital. The most recent confirmed activity is July 2025 (e.g., announcement of UTEC 6 and related investments), which is less than 3 months prior to the reference date. One example of an invested startup mentioned in UTEC news/coverage is their continued portfolio expansion (UTEC announced investments and fund activity around July 2025). Therefore tag: very-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.
