🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: Search results show Yipeng Zhao is Managing Partner at Embark Ventures with public activity in 2024 (Instagram posts Oct-Nov 2024) and Embark listed as having investments through 2025 per Tracxn (Oct 14, 2025). I found mention of investor profile pages but no single explicit investment date; however, evidence indicates recent activity within past 6 months from the reference point (latest investment activity in 2025). Additionally, social posts in late 2024 and Embark activity in 2025 suggest ongoing investments; therefore classify as very-active.

Angel activity thresholds:
Low Activity – Only known angel investments more than 12 months ago.
Active – Known angel investments between the last 12 and 6 months.
Very Active – Known angel investments in the last 6 months.
