Activity is filed board seats in the last 24 months: 4+ Active, 2–3 Selective, 1 Slowing, none Quiet. A firm's tier totals its partners, so an active firm may be four partners with one seat each. It undercounts partners who invest without taking a board seat, and filings lag a closing by weeks, so Quiet means the paperwork is quiet, not the person.
Categories of Audacious Ventures’s own portfolio companies, based on 4 with a verified or cited source.

Companies with no source read as unclassified and are left out of the shares above.

A shared board seat: a company where filings name a Audacious Ventures partner and a partner at the other firm, both with a clean identity match. Not a claim either firm led or co-led the round, only that both are named on the same board.
