In this briefing, you'll see:

1

The deals we're backing right now

The sectors, the stages, and why Arāya Ventures commits capital first before opening co-investment to members. 65% of the portfolio is AI-native.

2

Who's in the room

Members across London, New York, Dubai, Singapore, and Riyadh. Ex-founders, senior executives, family offices. The kind of group diligence that makes your investment decisions sharper.

3

How co-investing with a fund changes your access

You see deals after conviction has been established, not at the earliest, unfiltered stage. By the time it reaches you, Arāya Ventures has already committed capital.

4

What membership asks of you

One deal memo per month. No obligation to invest. A room that catches your blind spots before you write the cheque.

This is for you if:

You have capital ready to deploy over the next 12 months

You want access to next-generation companies before they're widely syndicated

You're tired of evaluating deals alone

You want a room that sharpens your thinking

You'd rather see 10 high-conviction opportunities than 100 mediocre ones

This is not for you if:

You want someone else to make your investment decisions for you

You expect dozens of deals every month

You're not ready to commit to at least one investment over 12 months

Just getting started?

If you're earlier in your journey, making your first investments, building confidence, learning the craft, The Studio might be the right fit. £1,200 per year. Full Academy access. 2-3 deals per year.

You'll learn more about both pathways on your call.
