Investors are often busy when they evaluate your company’s performance. The due diligence process can be accelerated and more efficient by having all the data in a single place. However, the method you source and organise the files can have a major effect on how easy they are to navigate. Every investor or official is looking to spend hours sorting through a plethora of files that aren’t needed.

What to include in an investor data room?

There are many ways to improve your investment data rooms that can make your company stand out from crowd and increase the chance of your venture being funded. You want to make sure you provide the most pertinent data, but not overwhelm or overshare.

Although it is standard to include a presentation in your data room it is not the ideal location to display the most important details regarding your product such as product roadmaps or product-market fit. Instead, you could include the more extensive map slide in your data room, which outlines your plan over a specified time frame and provides the most pertinent details for each stage.

You can also include a section in your data room to include an individual biography of your team that contains more than just your founders. This can provide a complete overview of the team’s capabilities in terms of value, tenacity and value and also show how much each person owns. It can also serve as a chance to include more professional resumes for your team members, and perhaps include a section for your customers’ references to show how much you care about your customers.
