FAQ Papersend vs. DealRoom FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Papersend and DealRoom?
Papersend and DealRoom serve different primary purposes. DealRoom is mainly a data platform providing insights on startups and tech ecosystems for market intelligence. Papersend is a secure document sharing and Virtual Data Room (VDR) platform designed to manage, control, and track sensitive documents, which is crucial during deal processes like fundraising or M&A. While DealRoom provides the 'who' and 'what' data, Papersend helps you securely manage the 'how' – the actual document exchange and collaboration.
Can Papersend replace DealRoom?
No, they aren't direct replacements as they solve different problems. If you need market intelligence and startup data, DealRoom is designed for that. If you need a robust, secure platform to share pitch decks, manage due diligence documents, or run an M&A process – essentially, manage the documents involved in a deal – then Papersend is the specialized tool you need. Many businesses might use both: DealRoom for research and Papersend for executing the deal's document-sharing aspects.

How does Papersend secure sensitive deal documents?
Papersend employs multiple layers of security. You can control exactly who views documents with email verification or passcode access.
