Data Room Purpose & Timing
- A data room is a secure, organized repository of company documents shared with prospective investors during due diligence
- Build your data room before you start fundraising—having it ready signals professionalism and allows you to move quickly when investors express interest
- Use purpose-built platforms (DocSend, Datasite, Google Drive with link controls) that provide access tracking, watermarking, and permission management
