About Tholons Capital
Our Story
Tholons Capital is the family office of Tholons, founded by Ankita Vashistha and Avinash Vashistha. It was built on a single conviction: that the most durable returns come from backing founders at the intersection of technology, emerging markets, and long-term institutional relationships. Over thirty years of operating at that intersection produced something most capital cannot buy: a proprietary network, a ground-level understanding of where value is created, and the credibility to open doors that matter.
Our Partners
Tholons Capital works with a curated set of partners who share a long-term view of the global technology landscape. Each partnership is built around a shared thesis, complementary strengths, and a collective commitment to the founders and markets we serve.
Arise Ventures is a Seed to Series A venture fund investing in Enterprise AI, HealthTech and Consumer across India, the US, the UK, and Southeast Asia. Founded by Ankita Vashistha and backed by the Tholons Capital network, Arise brings institutional rigour and global market access to early-stage founders who are building for the long term. Tholons Capital is a cornerstone LP and active strategic partner, providing the network, intelligence, and enterprise relationships that give Arise portfolio companies a structural advantage.
MyStepUp is an entrepreneurship and innovation foundation founded by Ankita Vashistha, focused on preparing underrepresented founders for institutional investment. Operating across India and the United States, MyStepUp runs skilling, mentorship, and investment-readiness programs that build the pipeline of founders that funds like Arise are designed to back. Tholons Capital partners with MyStepUp because we believe the quality of the next generation of founders depends entirely on the quality of the ecosystem built for them today. MyStepUp is that ecosystem.
