By these metrics, wasn't USV once a 'zombie' VC? http://www.businessinsider.com/vc-fred-wilson-just-said-no-2...

I work at Quotidian, and I agree it's a bit amusing to see our name there, since we're almost exclusively an angel fund. (Perhaps flattering, to be mistaken for a larger firm!).

To give you an idea of how 'dead' we are, note that the spreadsheet lists the date of our most recent angel investment as this week!

The goal is noble - the spreadsheet should be taken as a starting point, not a finishing point.

USV missed the cutoff by 2 months, they were in the Sift Science Series A in November 2012

As you suggest, another interesting post might be listing the truly inactive firms who have not made any investment at all in 6+ months

Understood, I just wanted to point out that there are legitimate reasons to go six months (or longer) without investing. The metric is helpful, but, like any isolated metric, not comprehensive.

Thanks for taking the time to put this together - very interesting data.
