🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: not-found
AI Reasoning: Searches for recent investments by William (Bill) Gates via Breakthrough Energy Ventures returned limited accessible results; primary sources found mention BEV investments historically but no clear press release or dated investment in the past 12 months. Unable to confirm any specific investment date for 2025 or within last year. Named startup examples from BEV historically include Commonwealth Fusion Systems and Form Energy, but no recent dated investments found to assign activity tag with confidence, so defaulting to not-found.
