WEALTH Salon: Capital, Access, & the Future of Health Innovation
Exclusively for WEALTH: Women in Health Members
Join us for an intimate, confidential salon of senior female health leaders where you can ask your hardest questions, to guest expert Rupa Popat, Founder & Managing Partner of Arāya Ventures, Managing Partner of House of Arāya, and 2x exited founder.
Rupa has sat on both sides of the table and got tired of watching the same founders get funded over and over while everyone else fought for a seat. So she built Arāya to back the ones the market keeps overlooking. It backs early-stage Health, Fintech, Future of Work and Commerce, with over 65% in AI applications. Its debut $26m Super Angel Fund, backed by the British Business Bank, has made 23 investments, and a newer $30m global fund two. Arāya was named 2025 Best New Fund Manager at the EISA Awards and UK Pre-Seed & Seed Investment Firm of the Year.
This evening is facilitated by Staša Stankovic, Co-Founder of WEALTH and of OvartiX, and Chantal Cox, former investor at Octopus Ventures, now turned Founder.
We're diving into:
Hear what Rupa looks for in a founder, and what she thinks is broken about who gets funded
What Staša and Chantal have learned raising in a category investors keep underestimating
Ask the question you'd never ask on a panel, in a room small enough to talk to everyone in it
When you RSVP, you'll be invited to share one question or challenge so the evening reflects the leaders in the room.
🎀 Something special to take home
We believe we go further when we back each other. We're introducing you to four incredible brands changing health and wellness that you need to know.
You'll go home with a gift from:
🧡 Jude, breaking the silence around bladder health with science-backed care
🦷 Pärla, plastic-free oral care proving good health and a healthy planet go hand in hand
🌙 Mooncup, the original reusable menstrual cup, making periods kinder to bodies and the planet
🍵 PerfectTed, clean energy from matcha for the days that ask a lot of you
Come as you are, we'll do the rest.
With love,
Team WEALTH
