Fundraising
Whether you are a hedge fund, private equity fund or venture fund, you have a need to circulate, manage and track fund marketing materials, proprietary methodologies, investment performance history, fund reporting documents and other investor materials.
Printing out and distributing binders of investor materials or disseminating information on CDs is time consuming and simply doesn't provide the security and traceability needed. The market-leading virtual data rooms are clunky and cumbersome, based on dated internet technology.
ShareVault provides an organized and integrated web-based platform providing a modern easy-to-use and secure solution for your investors to review your fund materials. ShareVault can also be integrated into your fund's web site so your investors always know where to go to access the fund materials. Your investors will benefit from ShareVault's unique blend of critical capabilities:
- Drag-and-drop document uploader based on a fast and secure proprietary data transfer technology - so you can populate your ShareVault fast,
- Entirely web-based application does not require installation of any proprietary document viewing software,
- Participants view documents in native Adobe Acrobat, locked-down with special security protocol that allows tracking of documents even after they have been downloaded, without any special document viewing software,
- Per-user and per-document access control settings so you can control who can see what information and when,
- Policy-based rights management so you can specify who has the right to view, print or save each document. Apply watermarks, block screen shots, prevent copy/paste, and in the event that a deal goes sour, you can even retroactively revoke the rights to open PDFs that have already been downloaded,
- Instant full-text search, so that participants can quickly find the information they need, greatly compressing the due diligence time line,
- Fast, easy-to-use tools to setup and modify the structure of the data room so your deal can proceed quickly,
- Conversion to secure PDF format happens automatically with support for over 300 file types,
- Comprehensive reporting tools provide the intelligence you need to determine who has spent time reviewing the critical documents for your deal,
- 24/7/365 support hot line, with access to ShareVault experts including a remote screen-sharing capability so our techs can see the issue right on your screen,
