Keel is fund administration software for private equity, venture capital, family offices, search funds, and independent sponsors. Its workflows cover investor onboarding, commitments, capital calls, bank reconciliation, distributions, performance reporting, and tax tasks. For fund economics, it supports European and American distribution waterfalls, GP catch-up, carried interest, preferred returns, hurdles, and recallable capital. Investors can use a branded portal for capital-call notices, real-time account balances, statements, tax documents, and fund analytics.
