Legal & disclosures
Last updated: 13 September 2026
This page explains, in plain language, what KK Invest is and is not. It exists because early-stage funding in India attracts both genuine founders and genuine confusion, and we would rather be boring and clear than exciting and vague.
What we are
KK Invest makes private, discretionary investments of its own capital into Indian private limited companies. Each investment is made by way of a private placement of equity shares under Section 42 of the Companies Act, 2013 and the rules made under it, together with a negotiated shareholders’ or share subscription agreement. Every investment decision is made individually, at our sole discretion.
What we are not
- Not a public offer. Nothing on this website is an offer, invitation, or solicitation to the public to subscribe for or purchase securities of any company, ours or anyone else’s.
- Not a pooled fund. We do not accept, pool, or manage money from third-party investors, and nothing here is an invitation to invest money with us. We are not an Alternative Investment Fund, Angel Fund, or Collective Investment Scheme, and are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) in any capacity.
- Not an adviser or intermediary. We are not an investment adviser, research analyst, merchant banker, broker, or deposit-taking entity. Nothing on this site is investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice. Founders and investors should take their own professional advice.
- Not a lender. We do not give loans, advances, or revenue-based financing. Money we invest buys shares; it is not repayable.
Pitches
- Submitting a pitch is free. We never charge application fees, evaluation fees, “processing” fees, or success fees, and we never ask founders to pay anything at any stage. If anyone claiming to represent KK Invest asks you for money, it is a scam. Please flag it through your existing correspondence with us.
- A pitch, a reply, a call, or even a term discussion creates no binding obligation on either side until definitive written agreements are signed by both parties.
- We do not sign NDAs at the pitch stage. Send only what you are comfortable sharing; your submission is handled as described in our privacy policy.
- By pitching, you confirm the information you provide is true to the best of your knowledge and that you are authorised to share it.
If we invest
- Investments are made only into Indian Private Limited companies — this is a prerequisite, not a preference. We cannot invest in LLPs, partnerships, sole proprietorships, unincorporated ventures, or foreign entities; founders may pitch before incorporating, but a registered Pvt. Ltd. must exist before any investment is made. Every investment follows our own diligence, KYC, and documentation, in compliance with the Companies Act, 2013, applicable RBI/FEMA requirements, and tax law.
- Terms — cheque size, valuation, and shareholder protections — are recorded in written agreements negotiated in good faith. The summaries on this website (up to ₹10 lakh, valuation between ₹1 lakh and ₹1 crore post-money, equity only, with mentoring provided at no cost) describe our investment policy, not a commitment to any particular deal.
Risk
Early-stage investing is the riskiest end of the riskiest asset class. Most startups fail, and equity in a private company is illiquid and may become worthless. We invest knowing this; nothing on this site should be read as a claim that any startup, or investing in startups generally, is safe or likely to be profitable.
Website
Content on this website is provided in good faith but without warranty of any kind. We may change our investment criteria, or this page, at any time without notice. This website and any dispute arising from it are governed by the laws of India.
