Virtual Deal Rooms — Secure Document Sharing for Startups

What Is a Virtual Deal Room?

A virtual deal room (VDR) is a secure online workspace where businesses share confidential documents with investors, partners, and advisors during fundraising, M&A transactions, and due diligence. Unlike email or generic cloud storage, a VDR provides granular access controls, real-time analytics, and tamper-proof audit trails.

How Do eSignHub Deal Rooms Work?

eSignHub deal rooms are built into every Basic and Pro plan at no extra cost. Create a deal room in seconds, organise documents into folders, invite participants by email, and track who views what in real-time. Key features include:

• Folder-based organisation: Structure your data room with nested folders for financials, legal, IP, and team documents.
• Per-user access controls: Grant view-only, download, or upload permissions on a per-folder or per-document basis.
• Engagement analytics: See which investors opened your deck, how long they spent on each page, and which documents were downloaded.
• Integrated e-signatures: Send NDAs, term sheets, and SAFEs for signature directly from within the deal room.
• AES-256 encryption & ESIGN compliance: All documents are encrypted at rest and in transit with military-grade security.
