// The PE problem

Every PE firm has a list of senior operators. Few have a network.

01 / Dormant
A spreadsheet of 140 SIEs that nobody has emailed in 8 months.
Operators churned in for one diligence call, then disappeared from the firm's working memory.
02 / Friction
The CRM the firm bought is the CRM no operator will log into.
Senior people don't fill in fields. They tap a message, take a call, or do nothing.
03 / No signal
When the right ask goes out, you find out the answer existed three weeks late.
The intro, the tip, the buyer view your network already had — never reached the deal team in time.
// Three surfaces, one network

Built for the people who don't want a "platform".

Sherpa lives where your operators already are — Telegram, email, one-tap webapp. They never see a CRM. You see everything.

Live asks, routed

Post a question to a sector. Sherpa picks the operators most likely to know, pings them in their channel of choice, and routes replies back to the deal team.

Operator profiles

Sector tags, deal history, calendar, mandate preferences. Updated by the operator themselves in 30 seconds — not by an analyst chasing them for fields.

Tips, intros, signal

Operators submit deals, intros, and sector views straight into the firm's deal log. Triaged, tagged, attributed. The signal you used to lose now compounds.

// How it works

Live in two weeks. Active by month one.

STEP 01

Import your bench

We onboard your existing operator list in a single CSV — 30 to 300 people. Sector tags, history, contacts. Live in 48 hours.

STEP 02

Onboard via Telegram

Each operator gets a one-tap link. Profile in 30 seconds. No app to install, no password to forget. They show up because the friction is zero.

STEP 03

Asks start flowing

Your deal teams post asks. Sherpa routes. Operators reply. The signal that used to die in inboxes lands in your portfolio ops dashboard the same hour.

We had 140 SIEs in a spreadsheet. Now we hear from forty of them every month — without anyone in our team chasing.
