🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: active

AI Reasoning: I found a press release on WERU Investment’s official website stating that WERU executed an investment in Cinderelax on 2024-02-01. The startup invested: Cinderelax. From that date to the reference date is between 9 and 21 months? Calculating precisely: 2024-02-01 to the reference date is 21 months? Wait need correct math: From Feb 1, 2024 to Nov 1, 2025 is 21 months. That is more than 12 months, which would be not-active. But there is a later press release on 2024-03-25 about founding Japan Cybersecurity Fund (03/25/2024). Also site shows a news item on 2025-08-13 (notice) but not an investment. The most recent explicit investment announcement is Feb 1, 2024 (Cinderelax). That is 21 months ago, which places the last investment over 12 months ago. Therefore tag should be not-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.
