The four stages of Capital Markets deals: A DocSend perspective

Navigating the highly sensitive landscape of capital market deals demands confidentiality and efficiency at every step. DocSend virtual data rooms support these deal flows end-to-end, offering a trusted solution for founders, investors, and advisors alike through the 4 key stages of every deal–deal sourcing, pitching, management, and execution.

Founders & Start-up Leaders

At the first stage of their journeys, founders often struggle with one common challenge–the need to share information with advisors and potential investors in a way that’s both secure enough to protect their proprietary content, but easy for users and viewers to navigate. As these deal discussions evolve, founders often need to share a variant of complex financial and proprietary documents needed to support deeper due diligence. Virtual data rooms help keep this process moving smoothly, providing high levels of security and control, plus easy sharing and crucial engagement metrics that let founders get faster signals on how their deals are progressing.  

Beverage startup Kove used DocSend’s Advanced Data Room plan to navigate this exact process. In a fundraising landscape where speed is crucial, DocSend’s quick and easy setup process let the team at Kove dive right into securely sharing pitch decks and financial forecasts with investors, avoiding months of setup time and costs associated with a legacy data room option making it easy on deal management and execution. The outcome? They managed to secure over 50% of their funding in two days.

The team at Kove effortlessly tracked who viewed their data room and disabled shared links when necessary. Plus, they had the flexibility to set different levels of permissions for visitors, tailoring the experience to their specific needs. The ability to track and analyze investor interactions with their documents empowered them to prioritize follow-up and tailor conversations based on investor interests during fundraising.

Investors & VCs

On the other side of the table, investors and VCs also face challenges during the first stages of these deals. In the deal sourcing stage, investors need to feel confident that they’re making the right bets. Maor Investments relied on virtual data rooms to securely share decks, legal documents, and financial documents and spreadsheets with potential limited partners and investors. Research shows nearly 80% of VDR users believe VDRs help them avoid major risks. This was a crucial concern for Ido, a partner at Maor Investments. “We were impressed to hear how you could restrict access to certain viewers and set expiration dates, he said” Maor Investments felt so strongly about the impact of DocSend’s virtual data rooms on their process that they upleveled their capabilities, transitioning to the Advanced plan to ensure that more members across their team could take advantage of the platform, empowering them to have greater influence over all the materials the firm shares with LPs and investors. 

In the later stages of these high stakes deals, the utility and importance of documents like mutual non-disclosure agreements (mNDAs) and confidential information memorandums (CIMs) on large files can’t be overstated. They foster transparency, facilitate data-backed negotiations, and keep all parties protected. These are all key components to keeping the execution stage on track, and are vital to ensuring that confidential data is only visible to authorized parties, mitigating risk.

Boutique Advisors - M&A Transactions

The final stages of deal negotiation and execution are especially important for businesses like advisory firms focused on mergers and acquisitions. At this stage, the priority is ensuring a smooth process for all parties, simplifying sharing, and ensuring excellent communication while keeping sensitive data secure. Advisors play a crucial role in these deals, acting as partners in project management, facilitating discussions between sellers and buyers, and acting as representatives for both founders and investors. More than 43% of virtual data room use-cases  are related to mergers and acquisitions. With DocSend’s virtual data rooms users are up and running in minutes versus the industry average which takes weeks. It’s  streamlined sharing that lets advisors show up as the best possible partners during the final stages of deals, fostering trust and transparency between the founders who built the company to the investors acquiring to foster the next stage of its growth. DocSend empowers advisors to facilitate seamless deal execution, ensuring that all parties gain a comprehensive understanding of unit economics from multiple viewpoints.
