Why share a cover letter with your data room

Organizing and structuring a data room is important. As Elizabeth Yin of Hustle Fund wrote, “Impressive companies have everything organized, easy to find:

  • All documents are filed in the correct folders
  • All important documents are included
  • Everything is clearly labeled and easily searchable”

In addition to the contents of your data room, investors will use your data room to evaluate your organizational skills. In order to make sure investors can navigate and understand your data room, you need a clear structure and need to give investors the context they need to understand the contents.

Elizabeth Yin is joining us for a webinar to discuss how to structure and share a data room — save your spot below:

A cover letter can be a helpful tool to help investors understand and navigate through your data room. Check out an example below:

You’ll notice we have our data room broken down into X major folders: 

  • Overview — This page, our most recent pitch deck, and other high level information. 
  • Financials — Historical financial documents, statements, and projections for the next 12 months. 
  • Cap Table and Financing Information — Our current cap table, founder stock purchase agreements, options plans, 409a valuation, etc. 
  • Market Data — Market sizing activities and competitive landscape. 
  • Incorporation Docs — Our bylaws, articles of incorporation, and more. 
  • Team and Stakeholders — Current employee contracts, relevant experience, and info on current board members. 
  • Milestones & Past Investor Updates — Take a look at our last 12 investor updates to see how we’ve grown and communicated the past year.
  • Product — A recent video recording of our product and a few testimonials from customers. 

Thank you and let me know if you have any questions!
