🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: I found a Hustle Fund article dated April 2, 2025 mentioning Eric Bahn and investments; additionally sources (Tracxn and social posts) indicate Hustle Fund activity in 2025. The most recent specific company mentioned tied to Eric is Rupa Health (acquired in 2024), but Hustle Fund shows investments in 2025. Less than 6 months have passed since an investment activity in 2025, so classify as very-active.

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.
