Frequently asked questions
Peony has screenshot protection and watermarks — does Pageform have those?
Peony offers advanced DRM features like screenshot protection and dynamic watermarks. Pageform focuses on how the deal is structured and understood — with AI-generated rooms, narrative flow, and engagement insights. For most fundraising and M&A workflows, that has a bigger impact than strict DRM controls. If those controls are a hard requirement, Peony covers them today. We’re continuously expanding Pageform’s security layer based on how teams use the product.
We’re raising a Series A — what’s the real difference between Peony and Pageform?
Peony gives investors a secure place to access documents. Pageform turns those materials into a structured story. With Pageform, investors move through narrative sections instead of a file list, and you see how they engage across the entire deal — not just which files they opened. That makes follow-ups more targeted and conversations more productive.
Our fund shares LP updates — which platform works better?
Peony works well for sharing updates as documents. Pageform is better when updates need structure. Each section can cover performance, portfolio, and outlook in a guided flow, with visibility into what LPs actually read and engage with.
How does Pageform’s AI differ from Peony’s AI?
Peony’s AI focuses on document-level assistance — like chat and basic organization. Pageform’s AI focuses on structuring the deal itself. It organizes materials into sections, builds a narrative flow, and helps surface gaps before you share — so you go from a folder of documents to a complete, investor-ready room.
We’re running multiple deals at once — which platform scales better?
Peony scales well for managing documents and access across deals. Pageform is built for speed when preparing and presenting multiple deals. You can generate structured rooms quickly, reuse patterns, and see how each deal is being consumed — helping you prioritize where to focus.
Can Pageform handle the same security requirements as Peony for M&A diligence?
Pageform includes core data room controls — NDA gating, email verification, download control, link expiration, and granular permissions. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Peony offers additional DRM features like screenshot protection and dynamic watermarking. For most fundraising and boutique M&A workflows, Pageform covers the required security layer while focusing more on presentation and engagement.
