If you’re a startup gearing up for a funding round or planning your IPO, one thing’s for sure: you’re going to be buried in documents. Investor decks, legal contracts, cap tables, audits, NDAS—you name it. And every single file matters.
That’s where data rooms for investors, or Virtual Data Rooms (VDRS) come in. At Projectfusion, we help companies stay secure, organised, and deal-ready. Here’s why VDRS are a must have when you’re raising capital or heading for the public markets.
Why is a VDR important during fundraising and IPOS?
Fundraising and IPOS involve serious scrutiny. Investors and regulators need access to sensitive information, and they need it fast. Using email or generic cloud storage creates risk: you lose track of versions, security is loose, and access control is patchy at best.
A VDR gives you a secure, central place to store and share key documents. You stay in control of who sees what and when, with features that prevent leaks and boost trust. It’s the difference between looking buttoned-up or barely hanging on.
How do Data Rooms for Investors help with due diligence?
Due diligence is time-consuming, but data rooms for investors make the process smoother and more secure. Think audit trails, permission settings, instant revokes, and document version control. You can set up a clean folder structure that guides investors through your materials with zero confusion.
Projectfusion’s VDR also lets you add dynamic watermarking, track views, and even schedule access expiry, so you’re not chasing people to clean up
afterwards. It saves time and shows you’re serious.
What should startups look for in a good VDR provider?
Look for a provider that keeps things simple but secure. You want:
UK or EU data hosting (for GDPR compliance)
Easy user setup
Tight access controls
Fast upload/download speeds
Great support when something goes wrong
Projectfusion ticks all those boxes. Plus, we don’t charge extra for support or throw in mystery fees. Everything’s upfront.
