How Startups Can Use a Data Room to Share Documents With Investors

Data rooms are commonly used to complete due diligence for mergers and acquisitions, but they can be useful for raising capital. Startups might use a dataroom to share documents with investors. This is particularly true when they are nearing the end of a fundraising campaign. With the appropriate features, a data room can help streamline communications and increase investor confidence.

Typically data rooms include a dashboard, which gives a summary of recent activity and notifications. Users will be able to personalize their dashboard and also alter their security settings and notifications. When logging into the system, users will be required to enter their email address, sign the Terms of Privacy and Use and modify their password protection settings.

Users will be able access and download documents once they have logged in. A data room should contain an index that allows users to locate the document they’re looking for and, perhaps most importantly it should be simple to modify the file if needed. Additionally, a data room should be able of tracking engagement on individual documents.

A data room should have an area for Q&A where questions can be posed and answered. The platform can categorize answers, questions and even identify certain words and phrases that should be deleted using its own artificial intelligence engine. The system can then mark these sections with a red arrow and mark them accordingly as an upcoming reference.
