Founded in 2018 by four individuals who found extraordinary success building the first commercialized virtual data room for corporate M&A. Having opened offices in the United States and Switzerland, they are born problem-solvers for getting the most value out of due diligence data.

Our Vision

TruDoss, LLC believes in making assets more valuable, liquid, and enduring by a modest investment in information packaging and delivery. Our technology, which takes minutes to set up, can add permanent, long-term value.
