• ⚑ Name collisions to avoid: separate UK seed fund "Cornerstone VC" (cornerstonevc.co), a US "Cornerstone Venture Partners" (cornerstonevp.com, NY, founded 2016), and unrelated "Aum Ventures" — these are NOT this firm. Dual-domain setup (cornerstoneventures.vc site + csvpfund.com email) is benign, same firm — not a fraud signal. This firm is private (SEBI-registered AIF), not a government/DFI vehicle. HQ in India. HQ street address sourced only from third-party aggregators (ZaubaCorp/RocketReach), not the official site — confirm before official use; email is on the firm's own site and is verified.
