The Documents Investors Commonly Ask AI Startups For at Seed, in Six Folders
A complete seed data room structure for an AI startup, organized around the areas investors typically review in due diligence - including the model, data and wrapper questions a standard SaaS checklist leaves out. 19 documents across six folders - each one a spreadsheet you fill in, a print-ready PDF, and an explanation of what usually belongs in it and why you may be asked for it. Drop the folders into Google Drive or Dropbox and Orangedox turns them into a tracked virtual data room.
- Corporate Documents (4 documents) Proof the company legally exists, who owns it, and that it owns the code your engineers and contractors wrote.
- Pitch Deck and Memo (2 documents) The deck, and the memo an investor can forward internally when you are not in the room.
- Financials (2 documents) Runway, use of funds, and what it costs you to run one task.
- Market and GTM Strategy (4 documents) Who buys it, how you reach them, and why this is not a wrapper.
- Product (5 documents) Roadmap, architecture, the models you build on, your data rights, and measured evidence it works.
- Team (2 documents) Who is building this, and the hires this round pays for.
Frequently asked questions
Your questions answered.
Most AI startup seed data rooms cover six areas: corporate documents, the deck and memo, financials, market and GTM, the product, and the team. This pack gives you 19 documents across those areas, and each one explains what usually belongs in it rather than leaving you a blank template. What a specific investor requests will vary.
Yes. Every document comes as a spreadsheet you can edit and a print-ready PDF, and they are yours to use however you like.
Yes, and that is the intended workflow. Recreate the folder structure in Google Drive or Dropbox, drop the templates in, and Orangedox turns that folder into a data room. Anything you add to the folder later syncs automatically - no re-uploading.
Yes. Orangedox verifies each recipient's device rather than using a password, so a forwarded link does not open for someone else. You can also disable downloads entirely and watermark each page with the viewer's email address.
Yes, page by page. You can see who opened the data room, which documents they spent time in, and how long. If an investor spent fifteen minutes in Model and Data, that can be a useful signal for what to prepare before the next call.
Yes. You control which documents each participant sees and can revoke access at any time, so you can open the deck and market material broadly while keeping the architecture and data rights closed until later stages.
No. Unlike a Google Drive share, Orangedox never reveals the other recipients on a document or data room.
