FundRM
A private CRM for hedge fund managers

Your investor relationships. Your database. Your key.

FundRM is a private, self-hostable CRM for hedge funds — a full investor-relations platform with a built-in mailings engine, encrypted at rest with a key you hold. One database per fund, your data always portable. Even the operator can't read the fields you encrypt.

Why FundRM

Built for funds that can't outsource trust

Three things a hedge-fund IR desk actually needs from a CRM: control of its own data, the full breadth of investor-relations tooling, and the freedom to move data in and out.

Private & encrypted at rest

Sensitive fields are encrypted with a per-fund key that only your passphrase unlocks. Unlock in the browser to work; lock when you're done. The host holds ciphertext and backups — never your key.

You hold the key. The host stores your ciphertext, never your key.

A full-featured IR CRM

Companies and contacts, investors and nominees, meetings, calls, notes and documents, capital activity and AUM tracking — plus a complete mailings stack: newsletters, weekly-return sends, contact lists, templates, a send queue and a per-recipient delivery log.

One system for the whole investor-relations workflow.

Your data, portable

Bring your book in from spreadsheets, SFTP or an administrator feed, reconciled into your investor records. Because you self-host on your own MySQL database, a complete standard export is always one dump away. Your data is never trapped in someone else's cloud.

Import what you have; export anytime. It's your database.
How your data stays private

Passphrase → your key → encrypted at rest

A key derived from a passphrase only you know unlocks your data. It is never stored on the server, so the operator hosting FundRM cannot read the fields FundRM encrypts.

1 · Your passphrase

Typed in your browser, known only to you — never sent to storage.

2 · Unlocks your key

It unlocks your per-fund data key — only in your browser, only while you work.

3 · Encrypted at rest

At rest and when locked, the fields FundRM encrypts are ciphertext — nothing more.

The one caveat: encrypted fields are readable only while you're signed in and unlocked — the ordinary property of any system that shows you your book. At rest, locked, and in backups, they're ciphertext the operator can't read. The security model spells out exactly what is protected today and what's on the roadmap.
Everything the desk needs

One platform, the full IR workflow

From first contact to capital call to the monthly letter — managed in one place, on infrastructure you control.

Companies & contacts

Investors, nominees and the people behind them.

Meetings & notes

Calls, meetings, notes and events, tracked over time.

Capital activity & AUM

Cash flows, market value and AUM tracking.

Documents

Pitchbooks, DDQs and letters, attached to your records.

Mailings & newsletters

Templates, contact lists, a send queue and delivery log.

Search over ciphertext

Blind-index lookups without exposing plaintext.

Security & trust

Encryption you control, isolation at the database

Written for diligence-heavy buyers. This is the security model FundRM is built on.

  • You hold the key A per-fund key is unlocked only by your passphrase and lives in memory only while you're working. The server never stores it.
  • A separate database per fund No co-mingling in shared tables — and each fund has its own least-privilege database account, so one fund can't reach another's data even at the database layer. Self-host and isolation is absolute: your server, your database.
  • Key loss = data loss, by design Lose the passphrase and every recovery share and the data is gone — that impossibility is the feature. A one-time recovery key is issued at onboarding.

What the host can — and can't — see

For encrypted fields, an operator with root or a stolen backup sees only ciphertext. Today that covers email content, contact and investor notes, and phone numbers; names, amounts and documents are plaintext for now, with wider coverage on the roadmap.

One honest caveat: while you're unlocked, the key is in server memory, so a live compromise during a session can still reach plaintext. Encryption at rest narrows that window; it doesn't remove live-server risk.

Pricing

Free to start. Then pay what you think it’s worth.

No licence fee. No per-seat charge. No upsells, no lock-in. Two ways to run FundRM — let us host it, or host it yourself — and either way, doing good is baked in.

Hosted

Free to sign up and start using — no strings — for your first month. After that it becomes payable, but on the honour system: we suggest a total of at least £5,000 a year (and, with a smile, we’d love £10,000). Pay it if FundRM earns its keep.

It splits two ways. Your fund donates at least half directly to charitySea Shepherd and/or the RSPCA, straight to the charity, so it never passes through us — and pays FundRM only what it costs to run the service. The lower our running costs, the more of your contribution goes to the charities, and we publish the donations.

Open source

Prefer to run it yourself? FundRM is open source — self-host it on your own infrastructure. All we ask is a one-time donation to charity (Sea Shepherd or the RSPCA), paid directly to the charity.

To get the open-source version, email donation@fundrm.com, or tick “Request the open-source version” in Settings.

It’s genuinely optional — nothing in the software is held hostage to it. We’re simply trusting fund managers who value FundRM to support it, and do a little good at the same time. That’s the whole deal.
