Be ready before the term sheet
Once a term sheet is signed, due diligence begins. Founders who have a tidy data room close faster and negotiate from strength.
What goes in the data room
- Incorporation docs, MOA/AOA, board and shareholder resolutions
- Cap table and all SAFE/note/share agreements
- Audited financials, management accounts, tax filings
- Key customer and supplier contracts
- IP assignments and trademark/patent filings
- Employment agreements and ESOP documents
- Statutory and ROC compliance records
A clean data room is a growth hack. It signals operational maturity and shortens the path to money in the bank.
