Data Room Tips

1. Use a secure platform: Notion, Google Drive, DocSend, or Dropbox for sharing

2. Organize by folder: Mirror this checklist structure in your data room

3. Name files clearly: Use format like "Picnyk_PitchDeck_v3_Jan2026.pdf"

4. Track access: Use DocSend or similar to see which docs investors view

5. Start early: Don't wait until you have term sheets - legal docs take time

6. Keep updated: Update financials monthly during fundraising
