This template provides a secure, structured foundation for managing investor relations, tracking portfolio companies, and monitoring funding rounds. It replaces scattered files with a unified system where Limited Partners (LPs), portfolio news, and quarterly updates live in connected tables.
The database is built on a relational structure where 'People' are linked to 'Companies' and 'LPs', while 'Funding Rounds' are directly connected to specific organizations. This ensures that every update, valuations change, or news article is automatically associated with the correct entity, maintaining data integrity across the entire lifecycle of your fund.
There is a critical risk in managing investor data on spreadsheets: security and scalability. Google Sheets lacks granular permission controls, meaning sharing a sheet often exposes sensitive valuation data or LP contact details to everyone with the link.
Softr Databases eliminate these privacy risks by strictly separating data storage from the user interface. Unlike Google Sheets, where rows can be accidentally deleted or mixed up, this database enforces column types—ensuring dates remain dates and currency fields stay formatted. Native relationships replace fragile VLOOKUPs, allowing you to instantly see all 'Funding Rounds' associated with a specific 'Company' without building complex, breakable formulas.
This template allows you to track complex data points like valuation caps, round sizes, and diligence stages in structured fields. You can also leverage Database AI agents to automatically enrich portfolio company profiles by scraping their websites or summarizing recent 'Portfolio News' into concise updates for your LPs.

2. Import your existing data

3. Build an app on top
The true power of this database is transforming it into a secure client portal using Softr's interface builder. instead of emailing sensitive PDFs, give LPs their own login. You can set users and permissions so that each LP sees only their specific updates and documents, ensuring total data privacy while providing a professional, branded experience.
An investor portal database is a structured system meant to track investment activities, including portfolio company details, funding rounds, and Limited Partner (LP) information. Unlike static files, it links related data points—like connecting specific news updates to the relevant company—creating a dynamic view of your fund's performance.
Google Sheets pose significant security and scalability risks for investor relations, as it's difficult to restrict access to specific rows or columns. A no-code database offers better data integrity with typed fields and relational links, and serves as a secure backend for building client portals where access is strictly controlled.
You can use Database AI agents to automate manual research tasks directly within your tables. For example, an AI agent can monitor the 'Companies' table to automatically fetch and update logo links, social media metrics, or summarize the latest news articles for your portfolio updates.
Yes, this database is designed to power a secure frontend app using Softr's interface builder. You can create a branded portal where LPs log in to view their specific capital calls, quarterly reports, and performance dashboards, while ensuring they cannot access data belonging to other investors.
