Arka Venture Labs is a first-of-its-kind India-US cross-border accelerator platform, launched in partnership with three leading VC firms - Benhamou Global Ventures (BGV), Blume Ventures and Emergent Ventures. The program is designed to facilitate a faster global transition for Indian B2B start-ups. Arka Venture Labs provides seed and pre-seed capital of up to 200K USD, besides mentorship, infrastructure and access to the Silicon Valley ecosystem which is critical for scaling up B2B startups in the US.
