The investor data room due diligence deserves.
A purpose-built, GDPR-aligned data room with threaded Q&A, per-investor permissions, watermarked previews and a tamper-evident audit trail — wired into your cap table, your advisors and your Google Drive.
Run a fundraise like an institutional team without paying institutional prices.
Series A · Acme.ai
12 investors · 3 advisors · 84 files
Free file shares cost you the round
A consumer Drive folder cannot watermark, cannot audit, cannot revoke per file, cannot capture NDA consent, and cannot show you who actually read your model. CAPLINK does all of it — without making you the IT department.
Cut due diligence weeks to days
A structured, indexed data room means investors find what they need on the first click. No back-and-forth emails, no missing files, no wasted partner-meeting cycles.
Send the right signal
An organized data room tells investors you run a tight ship. Every folder, every consistent file name, every up-to-date document is evidence of operational maturity.
Control sensitive material
Per-investor folder access, watermarked previews, consent pop-ups, and a full audit trail mean confidential material stays where it belongs — even after a deal stalls.
Eight capabilities that replace four tools
Stop stitching together a Drive folder, a Q&A spreadsheet, a docusign, and a separate analytics tool. CAPLINK ships them as one workflow.
Folder & File Structure
Build the room your way — drag, drop, nest. Or start from a proven Seed/Series A template.
Granular Access Rights
Per-investor, per-folder, per-file. Grant view, download, or none. Revoke any time.
Watermarked Previews
Every PDF and image is watermarked with viewer email + timestamp on the fly.
Bulk ZIP Download
Investors download the whole room as a single watermarked ZIP. Logged and rate-limited.
Q&A Workflow
Threaded questions per file or folder. Founders, advisors, and investors stay in one place.
Advisor Collaboration
Invite advisors with scoped access for the engagement's lifetime. Auto-revoked on close.
Consent Pop-up & NDA
Customisable NDA / confidentiality pop-up logged with IP and timestamp before first access.
Engagement Analytics
See exactly who viewed which document, for how long, how many times — page-level.
Bring files from Google Drive — without giving up control
Connect your Google account once, then use the official Google Picker to choose exactly which files or folders enter the room. CAPLINK can only ever see what you explicitly pick — never your full Drive.
- Uses the drive.file scope only — Google's narrowest, Picker-anchored permission
- We never request drive.readonly or any broader scope
- Picked files mirror into the room; access rights are managed inside CAPLINK
- Revoke CAPLINK from your Google account at any time — zero residual access
- Works with Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and any uploaded file type
Don't use Google Drive? Upload directly — the same access controls, watermarks and audit trail apply.
CAPLINK only sees the files you select here.
Built like a vault, not a folder
Security is not a checkbox at the end — it's the foundation. Every layer of the room is policy-checked, encrypted, and logged.
EU-hosted infrastructure
Data stored in EU regions. GDPR-aligned by default. Sub-processors listed in your DPA.
Encrypted in transit & at rest
TLS 1.2+ everywhere. AES-256 at rest. Signed URLs for every file fetch.
Row-level security
Every read and write is policy-checked at the database layer — not just the API.
Per-view watermarking
Viewer email and timestamp burned into every preview the moment it's served.
Consent log
NDA / confidentiality pop-up captures full text version, IP, timestamp, signer identity.
Tamper-evident audit trail
Every view, download, share, revoke and Q&A action stored with actor + context.
Confidentiality Acknowledgement
Before accessing the Series A data room
The information disclosed in this data room is strictly confidential. By proceeding, you agree:
• Not to disclose, reproduce, or share any contents without prior written consent.
• To use the materials solely for evaluating a potential investment in Acme.ai.
• That your acceptance, identity, IP and timestamp will be recorded.
Per-investor, per-folder, per-file — without the spreadsheet
CAPLINK's permission model is built to fit how real fundraises work: lead investors see more than the long tail, your lawyer sees only legal, your advisors inherit the investor's view, and you can revoke anything in a click.
- Cascade by default — Grant a folder → everything inside is granted, automatically.
- Excluded roots & per-file overrides — Pin a sensitive file as 'lead only' even inside an open folder.
- Sibling restriction propagation — Hide one subfolder without exposing siblings to confusion.
- Advisor inheritance — Advisors see what the hiring investor sees — never more, never less.
- Instant revoke — Active signed URLs invalidate immediately; the audit log captures every change.

Every question tied to a file. Every answer logged.
Investors stop emailing you scattered questions. They ask directly inside the room, attached to the relevant file or folder. You — or your advisor — answer once, and every other invited investor benefits.
- Threaded questions attached to a file or folder
- Founders and advisors can both reply, with attachments
- Per-investor question quota prevents abuse
- Full audit log of who asked, who answered, and when
- Push and email notifications keep deals moving
What's the gross margin assumption underlying the FY26 forecast?
78% blended, 82% on the SaaS line specifically. Backup is in 02_Financials/Margin_Bridge.xlsx.
Add advisors to the room
Advisors are added through scoped engagements, not raw user invites. The engagement defines the access scope, the duration, and the auto-revocation. When the engagement closes, access vanishes — instantly and irreversibly.
- Scoped to the dataroom + Q&A of the hiring investor
- Time-bound — auto-revoke on engagement close
- Cannot exceed the hiring investor's permissions
- Confidentiality conflicts flagged automatically
Bulk download — still watermarked
Investors can request the whole room as a single ZIP. CAPLINK packages it in the background, applies the per-viewer watermark to every PDF and image, then emails the recipient when the archive is ready.
- Respects the investor's per-folder access rights
- Per-PDF watermark with viewer email + timestamp
- Rate-limited per investor and per room
- Every ZIP request logged in the audit trail
