Investors want as much information as possible about startups before investing. They will want to see everything from competitor analysis to financials and much more. The more organized the founders are more organized, the simpler it is to conduct due diligence for investors. One way to help the process easier is creating a data room for investors, which contains all of the relevant documents and information.
What documents should be included in an Investor Data Room?
While every startup is different but many of the same documents are usually needed for a successful funding round. A few examples of the most important documents that should be included in an investor data room are strategy documents such as pitch decks, product plans, and company bylaws, or articles of organization.
Additionally, investors will often be looking to review agreements with employees, non compete agreements and stock option contracts. These kinds of documents are usually extremely sensitive, and storing them stored in a secure and easily-navigable online repository is the best method to ensure that they are only shared with authorized third parties. CapLinked’s virtual room solution that comes with digital rights management capabilities, allows users to control how a document will be used. This ensures only those who require access to it are granted access.
Include past updates on investors in a information room online to demonstrate potential investors that you are transparent, and that you will provide them with information during the fundraising process. It can also help to create trust and allow you to proceed with your fundraising faster and more efficiently.
