House of Araya

A private video for serious angel investors

Most angels are investing with one hand tied behind their back. This video shows you why — and what to do instead.

Rupa Popat, Fund Manager at Araya Ventures, shares the framework our fund uses to evaluate every deal we back — and why most individual angels never see the same quality of opportunity twice.

What This Video Covers

  • ✓Why experienced angels keep seeing the same low-quality deals — and what creates the access gap
  • ✓The portfolio construction mistake that most angels do not realise they are making until it is too late
  • ✓How co-investing alongside a fund changes the risk profile, the deal quality, and the learning curve simultaneously
  • ✓What House of Araya is, who it is built for, and how membership works

Who This Is For

This video is for you if:

  • ✓You have made at least two angel investments and want to do this more seriously
  • ✓You are frustrated by the quality or consistency of deal flow you currently see
  • ✓You want to invest alongside a fund with real track record, not just alongside other angels
  • ✓You are ready to treat angel investing as a long-term wealth-building strategy, not a side interest

This is not for you if you are looking for a get-rich-quick scheme, a high-volume deal platform, or a passive investment product. House of Araya requires engagement, commitment, and genuine interest in the craft.
