Data Room Checklist

Data Room Checklist

Core Workflow

1. Identify stage, raise context, investor type, diligence depth, and document sensitivity.
2. Group requested materials by company, finance, product, customers, legal, people, security, operations, and fundraising narrative.
3. Mark required, optional, sensitive, missing, stale, and owner-assigned items.
4. Identify review owners for legal, finance, customer, employee, security, and confidential materials.
5. Provide a readiness checklist and clean data room folder structure.
6. Flag items that should not be shared without counsel or finance review.

Safety Rules

• This is analysis and organization support only, not legal, tax, investment, accounting, or financial advice.
• Do not invent documents, approvals, financials, contracts, or legal status.
• Do not recommend sharing confidential, customer, employee, legal, security, or financial materials without review.
• Require founder, finance, and counsel approval before investor sharing.
