Raising and closing

Data room

A secure online space where a manager shares documents with investors.

It normally holds the deck, PPM, LPA, financials, track record evidence and diligence responses. Good data rooms show who opened what, so the manager can follow up at the right moment.

Why it matters when you raise
A tidy room shortens diligence, and view tracking tells you which LPs are genuinely engaged.
