A private investment firm needed a public website that read like the level of capital they manage — plus a custom client portal where qualified investors could correspond privately, share documents, and access confidential materials without those materials ever sitting on a third-party SaaS tool.

Custom WordPress build with a private client portal for confidential correspondence, conversations, and document storage

About the Client

Reichelt Capital is a private investment management firm focused on research-driven portfolio management across transformative industries — technology, energy, and biotechnology. Founded in Austin in 2016 and now headquartered in Delaware, the firm combines quantitative and macro-economic perspectives with deep value analysis, and serves qualified investors exclusively. Their positioning — 'Investing Evolved' — runs through everything they do: first-principles thinking, rejection of conventional wisdom, and a stated commitment to efficiency in an industry that has historically been anything but.

01 / The Challenge

Where they were
before us.

Reichelt Capital had two distinct problems running on the same site. The public side had to communicate credibility to qualified investors at a glance — research-driven, intellectually serious, modern. The private side had to give existing investors a way to receive confidential offering documents, exchange messages with the firm, and store sensitive financial materials in a system the firm fully controlled. Off-the-shelf portals (Dropbox, DocuSign, generic CRMs) introduced third-party intermediaries into communications that absolutely cannot have intermediaries. The firm needed the entire investor-facing surface — public marketing site and private portal — running as one integrated system the firm controls end-to-end.

02 / Our Approach

What we
actually did.

1

Brand and positioning workshop centered on the 'Investing Evolved' identity — visual restraint, intellectual seriousness, and copy that reads as written by the firm rather than by an agency

2

WordPress build with a tightly controlled custom theme — every template purpose-built for the firm, no Elementor or generic page builder anywhere in the stack

3

Custom WordPress plugins implementing the private portal: authenticated client areas, document storage with role-based access, encrypted messaging between the firm and each investor, audit logging, and admin-side conversation management

4

Strict separation between the public marketing surface and the private investor portal — different rendering paths, different security model, different navigation, but a unified visual system so investors never feel like they've left the firm's brand

5

Custom file storage architecture: confidential investor materials live on infrastructure the firm controls, with granular permissions per document and per investor, never on a third-party file-sharing service

6

Ongoing maintenance partnership covering security patches, plugin updates, performance monitoring, and feature additions as the firm's compliance and operational needs evolve

03 / The Solution

What we
delivered.

Full custom WordPress build combining a public marketing site with a deeply integrated private client portal. The firm now corresponds with qualified investors entirely within infrastructure they control — confidential offering documents, private conversations, and sensitive financial materials never pass through a third-party SaaS. 12+ custom plugins and templates power the portal; zero generic tools sit between the firm and its investors.

04 / The Results

Discovery to launch

Most agencies wanted to bolt our portal onto someone else's tool. Nerd Stack actually understood why that wasn't an option for a private investment firm and built us a system we fully control. The public site reads like the level of work we do — and our investors deal with us, not with a third party.
