If you’re in the beginning stages of raising capital or trying to demonstrate the viability of your venture during due diligence with potential investors, establishing a data room is essential. In our experience, companies that get investment have both a compelling pitch deck as well as a well-organized and accessible data room.
The most crucial aspect of establishing an effective data room is structuring the documents and folders in a manner that makes it easy for buyers to comprehend what they’re looking at. This may include creating a table, or index that lists the principal folders in your data room, such as “Finance” or “Marketing”. Within these sections, you’ll want to create subfolders that further categorize documents by topic. This will assist buyers in finding the information they need and speed up the due diligence process.
It is recommended to include a section that focuses on your current customers and references. This will help investors know the customer base of your company and also see how far you’ve come in the market.
After you’ve completed the structure of your data room, you’re now ready to begin inviting users. You can start by visiting the User Management section on the Manage your Dataroom page. Secure virtual datarooms come with permission settings that are flexible that allow you to invite users who need specific access permission to access documents. This is a significant benefit over physical data rooms, which require that everyone are present at the same time. Furthermore, they can only be accessible during office hours.
