🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: I found a firm press release dated May 21, 2025 showing Emil Capital Partners rebranded as ECP Growth and quoting Marcel Bens as CEO; this indicates recent activity in 2025. The most recent known investment-related firm activity is within 6 months prior to the reference date, and Marcel Bens was actively involved (example company referenced in other sources: Cheribundi). 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.
