A Series A data room, free
You can run your Series A data room in ArtifactSend for free, with folders, an NDA, a watermark with each investor's email, verified readers, and a record of which fund read which document.
The short answer
Create a data room, add folders for each area investors check, require an email code and an NDA, and turn on the watermark. Each fund gets access, and you see which documents its partners read and for how long. It costs nothing, for any number of rooms and team members.
What to put in a Series A data room
- Company. Incorporation documents, cap table, option plan and board minutes.
- Financials. Historical statements, the model, bank statements and burn.
- Customers. Contracts, pipeline, pilots and references.
- Product and technology. Architecture, roadmap, patents and test results.
- Team. Org chart, key hires and employment agreements.
- Legal. Material contracts, IP assignments and any litigation.
- Defense and deep tech. Government contracts, grants such as SBIR, and export control classifications, shared only with the funds that need them.
Keep sensitive files with the right funds
- Give each fund its own access, or allow only its email domain.
- Put sensitive folders, such as government contracts, behind access for named people only.
- Keep downloads off, and turn on the watermark and screenshot protection.
- See who opened each folder, and when they came back.
Build it in one sitting
- Sign in at artifactsend.com and create a data room named for the round.
- Make the folders above, and drop in your files. Many at once is fine.
- Turn on the email code door, the NDA and the watermark.
- Send each fund its link. Then ask ChatGPT or Claude which funds read the financials this week.
