Going through due diligence for an early stage start-up is at times daunting and mostly a complete time suck. However, people are trading money for opportunity and return on an investment so this work is expected and completely reasonable. This past weekend I read a post from VC Mark Suster Both Sides of the Table blog — which I think is a must read for those seeking capital in the pro-VC market. He somewhat emphatically points out that a data room is a waste of time.
