AI Reasoning: I found evidence that Muscular Dystrophy Association (through its MDA Venture Philanthropy program) invested in AavantiBio; the Bain Capital press release notes initial funding involvement by MDA Venture Philanthropy dated October 22, 2020. Additionally, I found a more recent mention: AavantiBio Series A financing news June 26, 2025 indicates initial funding included MDA Venture Philanthropy (source: Bain Capital news June 26, 2025). The most recent explicit involvement I located linking MDA to an investment is referenced in June 2025 for AavantiBio. Calculating from the assumed reference date, the last known investment is between 6 and 12 months ago, which corresponds to ‘low-active’. The invested startup named in sources is AavantiBio.

Not Active – No known investments in the last 12 months.

Low Activity – Only known investments between the last 12 and 6 months.

Active – Known investments between the last 6 and 3 months.

Very Active – Known investments in the last 3 months.
