# FundOS by Kela

> FundOS is an AI-native operating system for fund managers — private equity,
> private credit, venture capital, hedge fund operators, mutual fund managers,
> and emerging-manager fund administrators. It replaces disconnected point
> solutions (Allvue, Juniper Square, iLEVEL, Datasite, Salesforce) with a
> unified, agentic platform across the full fund lifecycle: deal sourcing,
> diligence, fundraising, transactions, risk, CFO / accounting, investor
> relations, compliance, audit, and trading.
>
> Kela is the company. FundOS is the product. Deployed at https://kela.com.

## 11 FundOS modules

- Deal CRM: pipeline kanban, deal screening (Agent B), inbound email triage, Google Calendar sync, post-meeting summaries

- VDR: secure data rooms, diligence agent (Agent C), BYOD document access via MCP connectors
- Transaction Manager: term sheets, closing coordination, counterparty extraction (Agent D), CP/task pack auto-seeding
- Pricer: IRR/MOIC/WAL modeling, European waterfall, loan tape analysis, sensitivity tables
- Risk (DSRI): covenant monitoring, breach simulation, risk agent (Agent F), portfolio-wide compliance scan
- CIM Builder: AI-generated investment memoranda, per-section Regenerate + Suggest edits, three templates (standard, teaser, one-pager)
- Investor Portal: LP commitments, capital calls, ILPA notices, reminder ladder (Agent E)
- CFO Center: fund accounting, GL sync, P&L, K-1 tax docs (with bulk prior-year PDF upload + LP auto-detect), Auditor Data Room, Annual Audit Pack (content viewer, per-file download, delete, persistent per-account configuration), SEC Exam Readiness checklist, Level 3 Valuation Support
- Syndication Engine: allocation matrix, KYC, funds flow management
- Compliance OS: KYC/AML pipeline with Gemini name screens, regulatory filing deadlines (Form ADV/PF/13F/AIFMD/GDPR ROPA/CTA BOI), restricted-securities + pre-clearance queue, obligations register, Compliance Dashboard

## Trading vertical (per-org switcher)

- Order Management System: order blotter, pre-trade compliance (restricted list, short locates, position limits), Replace/Cancel/Broker Ticket flows
- Position book: real-time Finnhub prices, WAC accounting, unrealized/realized P&L, gross/net exposure
- FIX engine: QuickFIX/n FIX 4.2 sidecar connecting to prime brokers (BTIG-ready)
- HF Ops: DTCC CTM T+0 affirmation scorecard, SSI lookup, daily reconciliation, unaffirmed-confirms triage

## 8 AI agents (all human-approval gated)

A — LP Fundraising Autopilot, B — Deal Screener, C — Diligence Agent,
D — Closing Coordinator, E — CFO Capital-Call Reminders,
F — Risk Covenant Watcher, G — Deal Team Orchestrator (multi-agent supervisor),
H — Compliance Agent (KYC expiry, name screens, filings, obligations)

Every agent writes structured AgentEvent rows and proposes AgentAction
rows that wait for a human approve/reject in /fundos/agent/runs/<id>.
Nothing auto-executes. Resumable via SSE + JSON polling fallback.

## 3 Executive Dashboards (per-user customisation)

- GP Dashboard: AUM, fund count, LP commitments, deal funnel, top MOIC, LP fundraising, risk alerts, recent agent runs
- Admin Dashboard: active transactions, closing-soon list, capital calls, agent action queue, compliance snapshot (KYC/filings/pre-clearance)
- Compliance Dashboard: KYC pipeline, filings, restricted list, pre-clearance, obligations

Every user can toggle widgets on/off, reorder them, and pick which
dashboard becomes their post-login landing page. Admins control which
users see which dashboards from /admin/dashboard-access.

## CFO Audit Suite (recent — April/May 2026)

Built for the EM-fund admin and SEC-registered-adviser persona:

- K-1 tax docs: persistence, refresh, per-LP overrides (EIN/TIN/Box 5/11/13/20/beginning capital), bulk prior-year PDF upload with LP auto-detection
- Auditor Data Room: one-click VDR room with 10 pre-named audit folders, auto-populated with trial balance, LP capital roll-forward, mgmt fee reconciliation, and waterfall XLSXs from live GL data
- Annual Audit Pack: as-of date picker → ZIP of Trial Balance / LP Capital Roll-Forward / Mgmt Fee / Waterfall XLSXs + Gemini cover memo; shareable via secure email link (no Kela login required for the auditor). Enhanced: content viewer shows each file individually with per-file download; delete button removes errored or unwanted packs; persistent per-account configuration (AuditPackConfig) lets admins toggle each of the 5 standard artifacts on/off and attach extra VDR documents — config is shared across all CFO users in the workspace.
- SEC Exam Readiness: 9-item books-and-records checklist with RAG status, one-click Gemini valuation-policy draft
- Valuation Support: tag portfolio Deals to a fund account; per-deal Gemini Level 3 valuation memos (company overview + methodology + concluded value + sensitivity)

## MCP integration

FundOS exposes its own MCP server for AI agents at https://kela.com/mcp (47 tools, MCP 2024-11-05). Discovery files:

- https://kela.com/.well-known/mcp.json (MCP server descriptor + tools_count)
- https://kela.com/.well-known/agents.json (Agent A–H catalogue with id, scope, trigger, produces)
- https://kela.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource + oauth-authorization-server

Tools are tiered for credit pricing: read_fast (1cr), read_multi (2cr), read_compute (5cr), write (10cr, human-approved), ai_light (25cr), ai_heavy (50cr). Per-client overrides supported.

FundOS also consumes external MCP connectors for BYOD access: Google Drive, SharePoint, Egnyte, Salesforce, QuickBooks, Xero, VentureInsights, and any custom MCP server. Every module supports a `?ephemeral=true` validate-only dry-run.

## CLI for operators

`pip install -e ./cli` from the repo, then `fundos login`. 18 routes under
/api/cli/* cover org admin, credit top-ups, FIX engine ops, DB status,
read-only MCP calls, audit/agent logs, and spam-org cleanup. Same Bearer-
token auth as /api/v1/*. The CLI strips an accidental "Bearer " prefix
from pasted tokens client-side and the server's _authenticate() does the
same defensively, so the most common copy-paste mistake doesn't 401.
Mutating MCP tools cannot be called via CLI by design — those go through
the dashboards or /api/v1/* so the human-approval queue remains the
single source of truth.

Env vars: FUNDOS_API_KEY (vdr_<key>), FUNDOS_BASE_URL (default https://www.kela.com).

## Try-before-you-pay billing (auth-then-capture)

For packaged AI tasks — ODD from GDrive, CIM from a deal room, annual
audit pack, K-1 generation, valuation memos — Kela uses PayPal-style
authorization-then-capture credit billing:

  1. Task generates output. CreditLedger row written with status=pending.
  2. Customer can VIEW the output for free (preview, AI summary, metadata).
  3. Charge confirms (auto-capture) on the first of:
       - artifact download
       - explicit POST /api/v1/tasks/holds/<id>/confirm
       - output used as input to another tool call
  4. Customer can POST /refund to void the charge; 7 days of inactivity
     also auto-expires the hold (cron at /api/v1/tasks/holds/cron/expire).

Only confirmed holds count against the spendable balance. Customers
never see a bill for output they didn't use.

## Pricing model (simplified — May 2026)

Two numbers per organisation, both settable per-client by superadmin:

  seat_price_usd_monthly    — flat $/paying-seat/month (default $299)
  seat_credit_grant_monthly — credits included per paying seat (default 6,000)

Benchmarked against Perplexity Finance ($200–$300/seat/month for licensed
market data + Q&A) — same price band, with fund-ops workflow + 8 named
agents + MCP server on top of search.

Plus a public tool price list at https://kela.com/.well-known/tools.json —
48 tools across 6 tiers (read_fast 1cr, read_multi 2cr, read_compute 5cr,
write 10cr, ai_light 25cr, ai_heavy 50cr); 1 credit = $0.01. Tool prices
are identical for humans and agents — same call, same charge, regardless
of who invoked it. Per-client overrides via ClientPricingOverride are
negotiated separately and not reflected in the public list.

A typical 10-person GP fund pays:
  10 paying seats × $299/mo = $2,990/mo platform fee ($35,880/yr)
  + 10 × 6,000 included credits = 60,000 credits/mo ($600 equivalent) baked in
  + top-ups only when heavy usage exceeds the 60k/mo grant

LP / counterparty viewer seats are free — only org members with active
User rows count as paying seats. See app/services/seat_pricing.py for
the resolver helpers; superadmin UI at /superadmin/clients/<org_id>.

## Anti-spam guards

Every signup path — POST /signup, POST /create-org, and the Google OAuth
new-user branch — runs three checks: disposable-email blocklist (17
providers, yopmail.com explicitly whitelisted for internal QA), random
workspace-name detector (vowel ratio < 20% OR ≥ 3 lower→upper case
transitions), and 5-attempts-per-hour-per-IP rate limit. Existing bot
orgs can be retired via `fundos org cleanup-spam --apply` with six
nested safety guards (PROTECTED_ORG_IDS, PROTECTED_EMAIL_DOMAINS,
no paid plans, age > 24h, no Documents/Rooms/Deals, status != suspended).

## Pricing (simplified — May 2026)

- Per-seat fee: $299/paying-seat/month (default; per-client override via superadmin)
- 6,000 credits/seat/month included (default; per-client override)
- Tool prices identical for humans and agents — see https://kela.com/.well-known/tools.json
- 1 credit = $0.01; pay-as-you-go top-ups beyond the included grant
- LP / counterparty viewer seats are free
- 48 tools across 6 tiers (read_fast 1cr → ai_heavy 50cr)
- Benchmarked against Perplexity Finance ($200–$300/seat/mo) — same price, with fund-ops workflow + agents on top of search
