VC fund data rooms with complete, well-organized materials raise capital 30-40% faster and achieve 15-20% larger fund sizes, according to Preqin fundraising data. Yet incomplete or disorganized fund materials delay fundraising by 3-6 months and signal operational concerns to LPs.

Peony organizes fund data rooms: AI structuring creates perfect organization, track LP engagement on fund materials, maintain professional presentation, and secure sensitive fund data. Purpose-built for VC fund fundraising.

Here's your complete venture fund data room checklist for 2025.
