A data room is a type of digital or physical storage area where companies keep relevant information in order to facilitate due diligence. During the due diligence process investors want to verify that all startup’s documentation is organized and up-to-date. It makes them feel like there aren’t any unintentional surprises. A poorly prepared data room can negatively impact the value of an investor. A well-organized data room will make investors look at startups more positively.
