Venture Labs - Arka.vc

Arka Venture Labs is the first platform of its kind to assist
the foray of Indian B2B startups into the US.

We do this by providing not just capital, but also hands-on mentorship, infrastructure, and access to the silicon valley ecosystem.

We help Indian enterprise startups overcome the “trust gap” that exists between the startups and their potential customers, investors and acquirers.
