🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: I found a Pantera-backed Series A investment in Sahara AI in August 2024 that lists Pantera as a lead/co-lead; Lauren Stephanian is a general partner at Pantera and involved in such investments. The Sahara AI Series A (Aug 2024) is within 6 months to 15 months? Calculated from November 1, 2025, the last known investment in Aug 2024 is 14 months prior – wait that exceeds 12 months. However, Lauren also posted or was linked to activity in 2025 (Tracxn shows portfolio updated July 17, 2025) and Pantera investments include activity in 2025; moreover, news and social posts indicate co-investments and active deal involvement in 2025. The most recent verifiable investment tied to Lauren is Sahara AI (Aug 2024) and additional Pantera deals in 2025 imply investment activity within last 6 months. Therefore tag ‘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.
