Virtual data rooms for startups
A virtual data room is a permissioned online space for sharing confidential documents with a defined audience. Traditional VDRs were built for M&A processes at large companies. Perseids provides the same controls — permissions, NDA gating, watermarking, activity logging — at a scale and speed that suits a startup raising a round.
Enterprise VDR vs startup data room
| Dimension | Classic M&A VDR | Perseids |
|---|---|---|
| Setup time | Project-managed onboarding | Self-serve, same day |
| Audience | Bidders in a formal process | Investors in a fundraise or diligence |
| Ownership data | Uploaded as static files | Connected to the live ledger |
| Commercial model | Per-page or per-project | Included in the platform plan |
