// 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 in 30 seconds.

Tips, intros, signal

Operators submit deals, intros, and sector views straight into your deal log. The signal you used to lose now compounds.
