II Investment Approach

Capital is only the beginning.

We work closely with founders long after the initial investment — on the decisions that determine whether a technically ambitious company becomes a category-defining one.

01

Capital

Long-term capital for technically ambitious companies.

02

Strategy

Support with product, business strategy, commercialization, and company building.

03

Network

Connections to investors, operators, industry leaders, customers, and strategic partners.

04

Global Access

Helping companies navigate and expand across India, the United States, and global markets.

III India × United States

Built across borders.

Technology is global. Talent is global. Markets are global.

MLVN Ventures operates at the intersection of the India and United States technology ecosystems, helping founders access opportunities across both markets.

What we collect

The details you choose to send us: your name, email address, company, and any materials you submit through the application form or by email. We also collect basic, aggregated information about how the site is used.

How we use it

To evaluate investment opportunities, respond to enquiries, and stay in contact with founders, investors, and partners. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

Who sees it

Our team, our professional advisers, and the service providers who help us operate — email, storage, and analytics. Founder materials are handled as confidential within that circle. We may also disclose information where the law requires it.

How long we keep it

As long as it remains relevant to an evaluation or a relationship, and as long as our record-keeping obligations require. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.

Cookies

This site uses only what it needs to function and to measure traffic in aggregate. There are no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Your choices

You can request a copy of what we hold, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to hello@mlvnventures.com and we will respond promptly.

No advice

Nothing here is investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice, and past performance is no indication of future results. Venture investments are illiquid and involve the risk of total loss.

What you send us

We read every submission, and we handle founder materials with care. Please do not send trade secrets or anything you cannot share without an agreement in place. Submitting materials does not create an obligation for us to invest or to keep evaluating.
