Data rooms are used in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) processes, in private equity or venture capital deals and other confidential business transactions, for some legal proceedings and also for general file sharing and storage.

Historically, data rooms were physical rooms containing paper documents. Today, they are a digital archive where you organize all of your startup's essential information for investors to analyze in depth.

The data room becomes your online portfolio that not only allows you to present a professional and organized image, but also to present your company's growth strategy:

• Speeds up the due diligence process: Investors can access information quickly and easily, saving time and resources.
• Strengthens trust: Transparency and access to complete data inspire confidence in investors, increasing the chances of investment.
• Improves communication between founders and investors
• Stand out from the competition: A well-organized Data Room differentiates you from other startups, projecting an image of seriousness and preparation.

Here are some tips for a better use of your Data Room
