Due diligence is required when a business prepares to raise money or make an acquisition or other transaction. It requires a thorough analysis of a large number of sensitive documents. This could include financial documents, legal agreements contracts, and intellectual property documents. The ability to efficiently share and manage all of these documents with the appropriate parties can significantly speed up the deal process and protect the confidentiality of the information.

A virtual data room (VDR) is secured and encrypted online repository that allows multiple parties to view, access and share confidential documents on demand. VDRs reduce the time-consuming, and costly need to store sensitive documents in physical form. The dedicated data rooms differ from the traditional tools for sharing files. They provide features such as the ability to audit, permission settings and watermarks to prevent changes to documents or leakage of information.

The use of a Virtual Data Room can significantly accelerate the process of preparing to raise funds or to complete a transaction. Investors can make educated choices by having access to an organized and complete set of documents. Utilizing a VDR can also reduce the time it takes to complete due diligence.

Founders looking to raise capital can upload financial records, IP ownership documentation, and budget projections to their VDR. These are available to potential investors in conjunction with the pitch deck and a company overview. This will reduce the time required to perform due diligence and increase investor confidence.
