Data Room: Early Preparation for Due Diligence Process

Event Overview

Preparing for the due diligence process is a critical step for every startup seeking investment, yet many founders are unfamiliar with the concept of a Data Room. Often, they lack the necessary documentation and don’t have a dedicated person to build a comprehensive Data Room. As a result, delays in providing documents can disrupt the due diligence process, leading to cash flow challenges or missed investment opportunities.

A well-organized Data Room is essential to showcase your startup's readiness and professionalism to investors. It contains crucial legal, financial, and business documents that allow investors to evaluate the company thoroughly. Without proper preparation, startups risk losing potential funding, as investors may choose projects with smoother due diligence processes.

In this webinar, Hieu Tham, Senior Legal Manager at ThinkZone Ventures, will share practical tips and strategies for building your Data Room early. You will learn how to compile essential documents, avoid common pitfalls, and streamline the due diligence process to increase your chances of securing investment.
