About

DealRoom combines the traditional, secure VDR with project management capabilities for professionals & teams completing M&A. The platform includes secure data storage, diligence management, pipeline management, integration management, as well as overall project management. Our goal is to help teams create a better M&A process that emphasizes collaboration so that the initial vision of the deal, innovation, & value-creation, can be successfully maintained & implemented. Our users: Spend less time on due diligence by eliminating administrative tasks like updating a spreadsheet, & communicating with 3rd parties via email or other applications. Shorten integration - Achieve value realization as soon as possible by involving integration teams early so that they don't have to spend time re-diligencing the deal. Eliminate the knowledge gaps between diligence & integration - By using the same platform to manage both processes, both teams can work together collaboratively.

Why CapLinked is Better than DealRoom

CapLinked is better than DealRoom for teams that want a focused, easy-to-deploy VDR without adopting a complete M&A operating system. DealRoom combines document storage with diligence requests, pipeline management, integration planning, reporting, and AI analysis. CapLinked concentrates on secure document control through granular permissions, Q&A, redaction, watermarking, audit trails, SSO, IP whitelisting, custom workflows, API integrations, and unlimited guest users. CapLinked also publishes its starting prices and offers a 14-day trial, making it easier to evaluate for standalone transactions.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • CapLinked is a strong tool from a manager’s perspective because it gives me a more controlled way to share sensitive documents without relying on messy email threads, scattered folders, or one-off file links. For deals, audits, diligence, investor updates, legal reviews, or partner workflows, having everything in one secure workspace makes the process feel much more organized. I like the permission controls the most. As a manager, I need to know who can see what, who downloaded what, and whether access can be changed if someone leaves the process or no longer needs a file.
