25 Oct What is an Investor Data Room?
Investor data rooms are the places that startups can store due diligence documents that can be utilized by potential investors or acquirers during a financing round. These are all the documents that aren’t able to fit into an pitch deck or slideshare presentation, and that prospective financial backers need to confirm prior to investing or sign off on a term sheet.
Investors want to see these documents because they can assist them in making a decision faster and easier and reduce the amount of time that investment managers are spending on the deal. They also make them feel as if they are part of the startup team which can build trust and leads to more informed feedback.
The most secure investor data room will also provide startups with visibility into who is accessing what information, ensuring sensitive documents do not fall into the in the wrong hands. This transparency also allows startups to tailor their conversations with investors, which will increase the success of a transaction.
In the event of a crisis an unshared folder could function as an investor data room for angel or seed investors, but specifically designed software is a superior option, especially for Series A rounds and beyond. A professional-grade, cost-effective virtual data room solution offers more features than consumer-grade software with powerful file search capabilities and advanced security structures. Some even provide digital right management (DRM) that is a feature that encrypts documents to ensure they cannot be printed, edited or copied by anyone else outside of the platform. CapLinked’s Investor Data Room service for instance, has this feature, along with other features.
