Item 1.  Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

The following description of the authorized capital stock of Darkstar Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by its Articles of Incorporation, which are included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 19, 2012 (file no. 333-176969) and by the applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, of which 10,000,000 shares are issued and outstanding as of April 12, 2012.  Each holder of shares of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to the vote of shareholders, including the election of directors.  The holders of shares of common stock have no preemptive, conversion, subscription or cumulative voting rights.  There is no provision in our Articles of Incorporation or By-laws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our company.
 
Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001, none of which are issued and outstanding.  Our board of directors has the right, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred shares with rights superior to the rights of the holders of shares of common stock. As a result, preferred shares could be issued quickly and easily, negatively affecting the rights of holders of common stock and could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult. Because we may issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in order to raise capital for our operations, your ownership interest may be diluted which results in your percentage of ownership in us decreasing.

Warrants and Options

Currently, there are no warrants, options or other convertible securities outstanding.
