At just 28 years old, Aditya Arora, the CEO of FAAD Network, has built a portfolio of over 125 startups.

He is observing body language, transparency under pressure, and how they respond to a crisis. Swipe through to understand the specific traits that pass his 15-minute gut check, why he has zero tolerance for unprepared pitches, and his strict baseline requirements for early-stage capital.
