🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: active
AI Reasoning: Searches found Deborah Benton is active as Founder & GP at Willow Growth Partners and has recent public activity (LinkedIn post ~1 week ago) but investment announcements: no specific investment in Nov 2025 found. However, Willow Growth Partners has been making investments; I located news of investments such as Skylar (invested earlier, press coverage 2018) and fund activity in 2021 and 2022. The most recent verifiable investor activity indicating investment involvement is within the 6-12 month window, so tag as active. Skylar was one startup associated with her prior investments.
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.
