Setting Up a Data Room

If you’re in the initial stages of raising funds or want to prove the viability of your startup through due diligence to potential investors, establishing a data room is essential. Our experience has shown that companies that secure funding have an organized data room as well as a powerful presentation deck.

The most important part of establishing the data room is organizing the documents and folders in a manner that makes it simple for users to know what they’re viewing. This could include making a table or index that lists the main folders within your data room, for instance “Finance” or “Marketing”. Within these sections, you’ll want to create subfolders to further categorize documents by topic. This will help buyers find the information they need and accelerate the due diligence process.

Furthermore, you’ll need to ensure that you’ve included a section that highlights your company’s existing customers and references. This will help investors understand your customer base and see how far you’ve come in the market.

Invite users www.dataroomdirect.info/main-perks-of-enterprise-file-sync-and-share-solutions/ to join your data room after you have completed the structure. You can do this through the User Management section of the Manage your Data Room page. Secure virtual datarooms are equipped with permission settings that are granular that allow you to invite users who need specific access rights to access documents. This is a huge advantage over physical datarooms that require all guests to be present at the same time and are only accessible during office hours.
