🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: active

AI Reasoning: Found evidence Persimmon Capital Partners participated in a funding round for RedPoint Global with latest round Dec 29, 2022. That investment date is 34 months prior to the reference date, which would normally be low-active; however need to find Robert Tobin specifically. No specific Robert Tobin investments found; other data sources show Persimmon Capital active as investor in 2025 (Tracxn lists Persimmon Capital as investor in RedPoint Global and profile updates 2025). Additionally, I could not find specific public investments explicitly attributed to Robert Tobin after 2024. Given available evidence of fund activity within past 12 months but no direct Robert Tobin credited, classify as 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.
