• Expect a small number of new deals: it says it backs no more than 6-8 companies in a year.

How to reach them

• Use the pitch form on the Contact page. It asks for a short pitch and a pitch deck upload.
• For general queries write to info@arkamvc.com.

What they say they look for

• Product thinkers who build things customers love.
• Execution fanatics who ship and iterate.
• Founders who felt the problem first hand.
• Outsiders who are rewriting an industry.

Arkam Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Bengaluru. Its own pages describe it as an early stage, non-consensus investor, and say it backs founders from Seed to Series B. It runs funds registered with SEBI, and its investor relations page gives a registered office in Domlur, Bengaluru.

Stage and approach

The firm says it shows up early, from Seed to Series B, and that it leads or co-leads its rounds. It says it backs no more than 6-8 companies in a year, so the number of new investments is small. Arkam describes the founders it looks for as product thinkers, execution fanatics, people who felt a problem first hand and fearless outliers who are not from the industry but are rewriting it. It says it does not offer one-size-fits-all playbooks and plugs in on go-to-market, pricing, hiring and board dynamics when needed.

Sectors

The sectors shown on its site are Enterprise AI, Fintech, Deeptech, Manufacturing, Cleantech, Logistics and Agritech, and it also shows a Consumer AI example. Its about page describes it as a Bangalore-based firm backing founders across AI, fintech, SaaS and deeptech. Companies named in its news and founder quotes include Jumbotail, Skyroot, Ringg AI, KuhlTherm, Jar, SpotDraft and Vaya.

How to reach Arkam Ventures

The Contact page has a pitch form where a founder can send a short pitch and upload a pitch deck. The site also carries a Pitch to Us button on the home page. The general inbox is info@arkamvc.com. The site does not publish a stated review timeline or a list of application criteria beyond the founder traits above, so treat the form as a way to start a conversation, not a guaranteed route to an interview.

Funds and governance

Its investor relations page states that Unitary Fund is registered with SEBI as a Category II Alternative Investment Fund, and lists Unitary Fund II as a second scheme. Unitary Investment Management LLP is named as the investment manager. Founders do not apply to the funds; this section matters mainly if you want to check who is behind the money. The firm lists a team of investment, finance, marketing and operations staff on its team page, with two managing directors at the top.

Location

The firm's registered office, as given on its investor relations page, is at 261, 3rd Cross Road, Near Udupi Park, Stage II, Domlur, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560071. This page is an investor, not a grant or an incubator: it invests for equity and does not run a cohort programme or a grant scheme on its public pages.
