For many years when an organization was looking to acquire another business the company that was to acquire it would require access to financial and historical documents of the company. These documents were typically kept in a room and people who played a part in making decisions would go there to examine them. Investors are doing the same type of work in the present to determine if they should invest in a business and need access to the same documents.
The most efficient investor data rooms are structured in a way that makes it easy for investors to navigate and comprehend the information.

Having a well-organized data room ready to go when you start your first discussion about fundraising will help the process go more efficiently.
