OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS NOTICE

Verify Communications

Arkstons VC and Arkstons Group communicate only through their official websites and email addresses. We have become aware of third parties fraudulently adopting names, domains, office addresses and other identifying details that are identical or confusingly similar to ours in order to impersonate Arkstons Group or Arkstons VC, represent themselves as acting on our behalf, and mislead recipients. Use this page to verify that any website, email, message, social media profile, review, video or other communication claiming to represent Arkstons VC, Arkstons Group or any affiliated entity is genuine.

These are the only domains operated by Arkstons Group and its affiliates.

Any other website or domain — including lookalike or misspelled variations, added or removed letters, additional hyphens or dots, alternative domain extensions (such as .net, .org, .info, .biz, .io, .group, .llc or any country extension), subdomains registered by third parties, and any domain incorporating “Arkstons”, “Oakcapita”, “MidMergers” or “Arkluxia” in any form — is not authorised by us and is never authorised by us. No such domain has any connection with, licence from, or authority to act for Arkstons Group or any of its affiliated entities. Do not rely on, respond to, contract with or send funds to any such domain unless its authenticity has been expressly confirmed by us in writing through one of the official domains listed above.

This also applies to any website or domain using generic, descriptive or industry terms — such as “advisory”, “capital”, “ventures”, “partners”, “group”, “investments”, “holdings”, “M&A” or “research” — whether alone or combined with our names. We have no connection with any such website, and we communicate only through the domains listed on this page.

Official email addresses

Our primary email domain is @arkstons.vc, and the majority of our communications, including communications relating to Arkstons VC and Fund I, will originate from this domain. On occasion, you may receive legitimate communications from one of our other recognised Group domains, depending on the sender’s role, legal entity or business activity. These domains include @arkstons.co.uk, @arkstons.com and @oakcapita.com.

For Fund I, LP commitment and subscription processes are conducted through our authorised platform partner. Any related communication will be issued through our recognised Group channels and, where applicable, through the authorised platform. If you wish to verify any communication or obtain further information regarding Fund I, please contact invest@arkstons.vc using the contact details published on this website.

We never use generic or third-party mail services such as Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo, Hotmail, Proton or similar services for official business correspondence. Messages from such addresses do not come from Arkstons, even if they carry our name, logo, signature block, employee identity or office address.

Group office addresses

These are the offices from which Arkstons Group’s advisory practice operates. Arkstons VC — Fund I, a series of Arkstons Global Ventures LP — is registered in Delaware, United States.

Our published offices are the only addresses from which we operate:

United Kingdom

27, Old Gloucester Street, London

Bahrain

9th Floor, Bldg 15, Block 338, Manama

India

Suite 214, No. 6/858-M, Valamkottil Towers, Kakkanad, Kochi – 682021

Any third party presenting these addresses as their own place of business, registering a company at them, or trading from them on a name similar to ours, is unauthorised and wholly unconnected with Arkstons Group. We have no association with, and accept no responsibility for, any person or entity doing so.

Payments and LP commitments

Arkstons VC does not request or accept LP commitments, capital calls, subscription documents, or any transfers via unofficial domains, personal bank accounts, cryptocurrency wallets, or messaging applications. LP commitments to Fund I are accepted only through our authorised platform partner and pursuant to executed fund documentation sent from an official @arkstons.vc email address.

The same applies to invoices and supplier payments. We never notify a change of bank account, payment instruction or remittance details by email alone, and we never ask a supplier, counterparty or portfolio company to redirect a payment at short notice. Any invoice, payment instruction or change of bank details purporting to come from Arkstons must be confirmed with us directly, using the contact details published on this page and not those contained in the message, before any funds are transferred.

If you receive any request relating to a commitment, capital call, or fund documentation that does not come from invest@arkstons.vc or our authorised platform partner, do not act on it. Please forward suspicious messages to invest@arkstons.vc including the full sender address and, where possible, the original message headers.

Social media and messaging applications

Arkstons VC does not conduct business, solicit investment or issue fund documentation through direct messages on WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, WeChat, Instagram, Facebook, X or any other messaging or social platform. Any group, channel, chat or profile claiming to be an Arkstons VC investor room, deal room or LP community is not operated by us.

Profiles, pages, advertisements and accounts using our name, logo, team photographs or employee identities are frequently created without our knowledge. Unless a profile is linked from one of the official domains listed on this page, treat it as unauthorised and report it to us.

Fraudulent investment offers

Arkstons VC is a closed venture capital fund. We do not market investments to the general public, we do not offer guaranteed or fixed returns, and we do not issue tokens, coins, secondary “fund units”, trading accounts or savings products of any kind. Any such offer made in our name — however professional the documentation appears — is fraudulent.

We do not accept deposits to personal bank accounts, cryptocurrency wallets, payment apps or third-party intermediaries. Fund I commitments are processed exclusively through our authorised platform partner, following documentation issued from @arkstons.vc.

Recruitment and job-offer scams

Arkstons never charges candidates a fee of any kind — for applications, interviews, training, equipment, visas, background checks or onboarding. We do not make job offers solely over messaging applications, and we do not request bank details, identity documents or payments before a formal, signed offer issued from an official Group email domain.

If you receive an Arkstons job offer, internship, analyst programme or “work from home” opportunity that involves any payment or an unofficial email domain, it is a scam. Please report it to us using the details below.

Official Arkstons entities and registrations

If you are searching for Arkstons UK, Arkstons Capital, Arkstons Investments or Arkstons Group, the table below sets out exactly which legal entities, registrations and domains are ours. Several of those names are used by third parties who are not connected to Arkstons in any way.

Legal entity nameJurisdictionRegistration
Arkstons Advisory W.L.L.Kingdom of BahrainCommercial Registration No. 98815-01
Arkstons Investments LimitedEngland and WalesCompany No. 11015850
Arkstons Capital LimitedEngland and WalesCompany No. 11848981
Oakcapita Advisory LLPIndiaLLPIN AAF-2415
Arkstons Global Ventures LPDelaware, United StatesRegistration No. 3325824

The reliable test is always the same three details: the exact domain, the legal entity name and the registration number. If any of them differs from what is published on this page, the communication does not come from Arkstons and should be reported to invest@arkstons.vc.

The names “Arkstons Capital” and “Arkstons Investments” are frequently copied by third parties using lookalike domains such as arkstons-capital.com, which have no connection with Arkstons Group. We never make public investment offers, guarantee returns, run token sales, or solicit funds through social media, messaging apps or videos.

Arkstons reviews, ratings and videos

If you are researching Arkstons reviews, feedback, testimonials, Trustpilot listings or YouTube videos published under our name, this section explains what is official and what is not. Arkstons VC does not operate, sponsor or pay for reviews on any third-party platform.

  • We do not maintain or manage profiles on third-party review platforms such as Trustpilot or Glassdoor. Any such profile has been created by a third party and is not an official Arkstons channel.
  • Arkstons VC does not run advertising, investment promotions or testimonial videos on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or similar video platforms. Videos, shorts, channels or clips that use the Arkstons or Arkstons Capital name, logo or the likeness of our people are not official unless they are published from a channel we link to from this website.
  • Third parties have repeatedly used the Arkstons name, lookalike domains and similar company names to present themselves as us. Material published under our name may therefore relate to an entirely unrelated entity or to people impersonating us.
  • Before relying on any review, rating or video, check the exact domain, legal entity, registration number and contact details it refers to against the information on this page. If they do not match, the material does not concern Arkstons.

If you have seen a review, video, profile, website or message that appears to impersonate Arkstons, email invest@arkstons.vc with the details and any screenshots.

Reporting impersonation

If you receive a suspicious communication claiming to be from Arkstons, please do not reply, click any links or send any funds. Forward it to invest@arkstons.vc including the full sender address and, where possible, the original message headers.

We also encourage you to report the matter to the relevant authority in your jurisdiction — for example Action Fraud in the United Kingdom, the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) in the United States, or your local police service. If you have already transferred funds, contact your bank immediately.

No liability for unauthorised communications

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Arkstons Group and its affiliated entities, directors, officers, employees and agents accept no responsibility or liability of any kind — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), misrepresentation, statute or otherwise — for any website, domain, email, invoice, payment instruction, document, contract, social media account, messaging profile, advertisement, review, video or other communication originating from, or purporting to originate from, any unofficial or unauthorised source, and we do not accept any responsibility for any loss or damage whatsoever arising from it. This exclusion covers all direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special and punitive loss, including loss of funds, deposits, fees, profits, business, opportunity, data or goodwill, however caused, and applies whether or not we have been notified of the impersonation or of the possibility of such loss.

No act, omission, delay or failure by us to identify, report, pursue or take action against any impersonation creates any duty of care, assumption of responsibility or liability on our part. Any dealings you enter into with an unauthorised party are entirely at your own risk, and you are solely responsible for verifying the authenticity of any communication through the official domains and contact details published on this page before responding, contracting or transferring any funds.

Nothing in this notice excludes or limits liability to the extent it cannot lawfully be excluded. Arkstons Group reserves all rights and remedies in respect of the misuse of its names, marks, domains, addresses and corporate identity.

This notice forms part of, and should be read together with, the Arkstons Group Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which govern this website and all Arkstons VC communications. See the Arkstons Group Terms of Service (Section 24) and Privacy Policy.
