How to Set Up Ciiimple — Getting Started with Your Investor Data Room
Setting up a Ciiimple investor data room takes about 5 minutes — from creating your branded profile to sending your first secure investor link.
Before You Start
Have the following ready before you begin:
- Company logo (any common image format)
- One-line company description and funding stage
- Pitch video URL (optional but recommended)
- Core diligence documents: deck, financials, cap table, team bios
Step-by-Step Setup
1. Sign Up and Start Your Free Trial
Create your account at ciiimple.com. All plans include a 3-day free trial — no credit card charge until the trial ends.
2. Build Your Branded Profile
Add your company details to create the profile investors see before opening any document:
- Upload your logo and set brand colors
- Add your one-liner, funding stage, and sector
- Embed a pitch video if you have one
This profile is the first impression — it signals professionalism before a single slide is read.
3. Upload and Organize Your Documents
- Drag and drop files into the document library
- Organize by category: Overview, Financials, Cap Table, Team, Product, Legal
- The AI automatically extracts and structures key information — financials, metrics, team, traction — from uploaded files
4. Create Data Rooms
Build separate rooms for different investors or deal stages:
- Add exactly the documents each audience needs
- Optionally require an NDA before access is granted
- Restrict access by specific email address or domain
5. Share Secure Links and Track Engagement
For each investor:
- Generate a unique share link
- Set an optional password and/or expiration date
- Send the link, then watch real-time: who opened what, when, and for how long
- Revoke any link instantly with one click
After Setup
Once your room is live, investors can use the built-in AI chat assistant to ask questions about your documents and receive cited answers — reducing back-and-forth and keeping your round moving.
