Bootstrapped and Profitable, ShareVault Gears Up to Scale Growth

In a high-value transaction, every decision, document, and minute detail can have a profound impact on the future of a business deal. Whether it’s a merger, acquisition, capital raise, licensing agreement, or litigation, even the slightest oversight can become a million dollar mistake.

When there’s no room for error and expediency matters, ShareVault offers a powerful platform that gives deal makers total control and instant insight with zero friction. The company’s secure virtual data room (VDR) solutions support every stage of the transaction lifecycle—from early diligence to the final signature.

ShareVault has enabled over $100 billion in closed deals, including the recent acquisition of Informatica by Salesforce for $8 billion, and supports more than 8,000 active users. With new strategic partnerships in place and data centers deployed across Europe and Asia, the fully-bootstrapped business is profitable and poised to grow at least 20% in the next year.

Maintaining profitable growth

ShareVault leaders aren’t solely focused on growth at this key inflection point—they’re taking steps to improve operational efficiency, protect the company’s margins as it scales, and optimize their enterprise value long-term.

To fund several strategic growth initiatives, including infrastructure upgrades and expanding sales and marketing, ShareVault has sourced additional working capital from Lighter Capital.

"Non-dilutive funding from Lighter Capital allows us to make our own decisions and extend our runway significantly, while we explore potentially raising equity," said Steve Monterroso, CEO of ShareVault. “We’re staying lean and leveraging AI as much as we can to maintain our competitive advantage.”

ShareVault recently joined Lighter Capital’s Perks Program, which offers founders access to discounted tools and services valued at over $200,000. Lighter Capital-backed companies can now take advantage of ShareVault’s secure, intuitive platform to manage due diligence, fundraising, investor updates, and strategic partnerships. And ShareVault has opened up a pipeline to new revenue.

“We chose to work with Lighter Capital because, by securing debt, we didn't dilute our existing shareholders or founders, and that was attractive to us," said Monterroso. “Lighter leaned in on the relationship, helping us grow in other ways, and it feels like a strategic partnership.”

Looking ahead

Monterroso is bullish on the company’s trajectory and expects it will exceed projections over the next year.

In addition to ShareVault’s recent growth and efficiency investments, the business continues to move up-market through strong enterprise relationships with companies that include Goldman Sachs, Meta, GM, and Abbott. Valuable AI features in its product roadmap, such as AI Redaction and its forthcoming AI Assistant, will further support fast, seamless, and secure deal-making.

ShareVault is also getting into podcasting. This is M&A provides a front-row seat to the real world of mergers and acquisitions, capital raises, and strategic moves. Hosted by Monterroso himself—a fearless leader and seasoned deal maker at heart—listeners can expect insightful, unfiltered conversations between seasoned deal makers who have been in the trenches navigating high-stakes transactions.
