An investor dataroom facilitates due diligence, collaborative decision-making, and collaboration throughout the transaction. It helps investors quickly understand a startup's value, and offers intuitive communication tools to facilitate smooth interactions with a variety of stakeholders. The software for due diligence of investors can be used by people who are accountable for taking a look at investments and making decisions, as well as professionals who guide clients through complex investment decisions.
In your pitch, you've made statements about your startup's intellectual rights (IP). In the investor data room, present VCs and angels your patent numbers as well as patent filings, trademarks, and other IP assets to ensure due diligence progresses efficiently.
The purpose of your investor data room is to speed up the due diligence process, and ultimately, to conclude an agreement for funding. In order to achieve this you'll need to create an organized data room with simple navigation and search functions.
A thorough audit trail is also a good idea. It allows you to track how much data has been shared, by whom and at what intervals. With watermarking, expiring links, fence view and granular permissions your team can manage the user's activity easily.
As you progress through discussions with VCs or angel investors It's likely that you will be asked for additional information. In the first stage an VC or investor will be looking for data that can support your pitch deck, including market fit and financial models. In stage 2, they'll ask for more specific information about your business model, your traction and staffing.
