Door has solved a common problem in the investment management industry with a simple and elegant solution. Combining the benefits of digital and standardization, we have replaced the archaic due diligence questionnaire process that hadn't improved since the advent of the internet. Manager research teams benefit from the standard questionnaire representing best practice. They are able to use the platform to gather the core information generally sought by sophisticated investors. Analysts can ask proprietary questions through the platform to supplement the standard group. Analysts are able to see the history of responses from managers and to keep track of changes. Door enable analysts to spend more time performing research and analysis by reducing the burdens of hunting for information. No more printing out DDQs, hunting for changes - Door drives the information to analysts for making decisions. Door is available without cost to fund/manager research teams.Asset Managers are able to efficiently respond to their clients requirements for higher levels of transparency, more timeliness and a fuller understanding of how they manage investment products. Asset managers save time and resources that they would otherwise dedicate to responding to proprietary questionnaires from their clients - all of which have a high level of overlap. Asset managers are able to reach more clients, more quickly and enable them to be more successful.We are excited about our opportunity to solve a common point of inefficiency in the industry. We believe that technology well placed has the ability to make the roles of industry participants more efficient and impactful.We have built Door through a collaboration consisting of some of the industry's most innovative firms.
