Building a Clean Data Room for Your Pre-Seed & Seed Round

​Investors are interested, now they ask for your data room.
For many first-time founders, this is where a raise stalls. Files are scattered across drives, the cap table is out of date, and the folder names only make sense to you. A messy data room slows due diligence and can quietly weaken investor confidence.
Paid platforms like Carta and Orangedox are useful tools, especially in later rounds. But at pre-Seed and Seed, you don't need to pay for a data room to run a professional process.

In this session, we'll go through the basics of an early-stage data room and show exactly how Hubble raised its pre-Seed round in 2025 using a custom data room built entirely with free software.

​What we'll cover

• ​The fundamentals: what a data room is, when investors expect one, and what it signals about you as a founder

• ​The format: how to structure folders, name files and set up access so investors can find what they need fast

• ​What to include: the core documents for a pre-Seed or Seed round, and what can wait until later

• ​Keeping it clean: Updates during the raise, and common mistakes to avoid

• ​Behind the scenes: a walkthrough of Hubble's own data room and the free tools we used to build it
  
  Format

• ​40 minutes: presentation and walkthrough

• ​20 minutes: open Q&A (bring your questions about your own data room)
