| Feature | Listed | What it does for a founder |
|---|---|---|
| Investor Q&A | Funds and buyers ask questions against a file; you assign, answer and publish replies, and the thread stays on record. | |
| Viewer activity log | Shows which investor opened which file, for how long and when, and exports the record. | |
| Dynamic watermarks | Stamps the viewer email and the time across every page, so a forwarded screenshot points back to its source. | |
| In-app redaction | Blacks out salaries, customer names or personal data inside the platform without keeping a second copy. | |
| NDA e-signing | Investors sign the NDA or click-through terms before the room opens. | |
| Mobile app | An installable phone and tablet app on top of the mobile website. | |
| Open API | Lets your engineers create rooms, add users or pull activity into your own tools. | |
| Single sign-on | Your team signs in with Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID or Okta instead of another password. | |
| Two-step login | Every login needs a one-time code or an app approval as well as the password. | |
| Bulk folder upload | Drag a whole folder tree in at once and keep its numbering. | |
| View-only and download control | Set each file to view only, print or download, and change it later without resending anything. | |
| AI assistance | Vendor-listed help such as auto-filing, document summaries, search across files or drafted answers. |
