Every investment transaction is different, and investors may request additional information depending on the industry, stage of growth, and structure of the proposed investment.
However, formation documents, governance and shareholder records, capitalization information, financial records, intellectual property documentation, material contracts, employment-related agreements, and compliance-related records are among the categories of information that are commonly reviewed during startup due diligence.
For startups preparing to raise capital, organizing these materials in advance can help ensure that information is readily available when investor discussions begin and may help facilitate a more efficient diligence process.
