Arka Venture Labs is a first-of-its-kind India-US cross-border accelerator platform that aims to facilitate a faster global transition for Indian B2B startups. Launched in partnership with three leading venture capital (VC) firms - Benhamou Global Ventures (BGV), Blume Ventures, and Emergent Ventures - Arka Venture Labs provides seed and pre-seed capital of up to $200,000, alongside mentorship, infrastructure, and access to the Silicon Valley ecosystem, which is crucial for scaling up B2B startups in the US.

The platform is open exclusively to B2B startups with a minimum viable product (MVP) or paying customers, demonstrating strong potential in the US or European region, backed by robust core technology and economic differentiators. Arka Venture Labs operates from Blume's offices in India and BGV's offices in Silicon Valley in the United States, located at 540 Cowper St, Palo Alto, California.

Arka Venture Labs is driven by a vision to create an increasing number of valuable B2B startups from India. Drawing from the strengths of its founding partners, it combines the extensive knowledge and experience of the Indian entrepreneurial ecosystem from Blume Ventures, with the deep operational experience in the B2B sector and cross-border investments offered by BGV and Emergent Ventures.
