Deallink® - Virtual Data Room

What Deallink® - Virtual Data Room does

Deallink is a São Paulo-headquartered Virtual Data Room (VDR) SaaS platform serving the deal lifecycle of mergers and acquisitions, IPOs, fundraising, and financial restructurings across Latin America, North America, and Europe. The platform is built on a proprietary ASP.NET framework hosted on Microsoft Azure, with documents held exclusively on Deallink servers (never cached on user devices) and protected by AES 256-bit encryption, TLS 1.2, ISO 27001 certification, and SOC 2 Type II compliance. Functional modules include on-the-fly multilingual file translation, instant redaction ("Ocultar"), a 9-KPI buyer-interest dashboard, an Outlook-style Q&A workflow with approval routing, drag-and-drop uploads up to 50GB, granular permission management, and real-time custom reports.

Deallink was founded in 2008/2009 by three investment bankers following structured market research with 287 legal advisors and investment bankers, and was acquired by Negócios Conectados in 2013 when the platform commercially launched. The company operates with a small team (approximately 9 employees) including dedicated bilingual project managers with 15 years of combined capital markets experience, supported by 24/7 in-house (non-outsourced) multilingual support and a 99.95% contractual uptime guarantee backed by Microsoft Azure infrastructure with capacity for 2,000 simultaneous logins. The company holds US subsidiary Deallink Virtual Data Room LLC and serves a client base that includes 87 B3-listed Brazilian companies and 90 top law firms and investment banks.

The revenue model combines a subscription-based core platform (tiered pricing by pages and GB used, with multi-year contracts and quote-based enterprise pricing) with recurring professional services including dedicated project management, implementation, continuous management, training, and custom reports. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with localized telephone coverage in 8 country markets and a trilingual (EN/ES/PT) website driving demo requests; customer segments span investment banks, PE/VC firms, CFOs and finance directors, law firms, and adjacent verticals including biotech/pharma and mining/energy.
