Solution
A data room that understands your company.
A virtual data room usually stores files and counts page views. A Perseids data room sits on top of your ownership record, so the documents, the people who can see them and the company they describe are the same system.
Intelligent organisation
Diligence stalls on structure more than on content. Perseids starts from the categories investors and acquirers actually ask for, so you are filling a known shape rather than inventing a folder tree per process.
- Corporate: incorporation, articles, board and shareholder resolutions.
- Legal: material agreements, disputes, regulatory correspondence.
- Finance: statements, management accounts, budgets, tax filings.
- Cap table: registers, share issuances, option plans, convertibles.
- IP: registrations, assignments, licences.
- HR: employment templates, key contracts, equity documentation.
- Commercial: customer and supplier agreements, pipeline evidence.
- Compliance: policies, insurance, data protection records.
Ask Perseids over your documents
Search that only matches filenames is useless three hundred documents into a process. Ask Perseids reads the contents you have uploaded, under the permissions of whoever is asking.
- Where is the latest shareholder agreement?
- Which contracts contain change-of-control clauses?
- What documents are missing for diligence?
- Which agreements expire in the next twelve months?
Permissioned access
| Control | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Folder permissions | Grant access per folder, not only per room |
| Investor access | Invite a named party; access is tied to their account |
| Time-limited access | Set an expiry so a process closes cleanly |
| View vs download | Allow viewing without permitting a local copy |
| Revocation | Withdraw access immediately, without re-issuing links |
Folder permissions
- Behaviour
- Grant access per folder, not only per room
Investor access
- Behaviour
- Invite a named party; access is tied to their account
Time-limited access
- Behaviour
- Set an expiry so a process closes cleanly
View vs download
- Behaviour
- Allow viewing without permitting a local copy
Revocation
- Behaviour
- Withdraw access immediately, without re-issuing links
Access is enforced at the database level, not only in the interface. Room links are never publicly crawlable.
Connected to ownership
A standalone VDR cannot tell you that the option plan in the folder disagrees with the grants in your register, or that a shareholder listed in a resolution is not on the cap table. Because a Perseids room belongs to the same company record as the ledger, diligence and ownership can be checked against each other rather than reconciled by hand at the end.
If you already run a room elsewhere, an import flow brings the existing structure across so you do not rebuild the tree by hand.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a startup data room?
- It is a permissioned repository of the documents an investor or acquirer needs to diligence a company: corporate records, financials, contracts, IP and cap table documentation, organised so a third party can review them without unrestricted access to internal systems.
- Can I control investor access?
- Yes. Access is granted per party and can be scoped by folder, limited in time, restricted to viewing without download, and revoked at any point.
- Does Perseids analyse documents?
- Yes. Ask Perseids searches document content, answers questions across the room and cites the documents behind an answer, always within the asker's permissions.
- Can I track missing documents?
- Yes. Because the room follows a standard diligence structure, Perseids can surface which categories are empty or thin before an investor points it out.
- Is the data room linked to my cap table?
- Yes. The room belongs to the same company record as the ownership ledger, so documents and ownership can be reviewed together instead of in two disconnected tools.
