Founded by Tristan Deschler , Tim Altpeter and Max Lang , Sherpa is building a platform to manage the full lifecycle of external work, from request to payment, designed to bring contractors, freelancers, consultants, service providers and AI agents into a single operating system.

As enterprises adopt AI agents alongside external workers, they encounter similar operational requirements around onboarding, compliance, performance management and oversight. Sherpa's platform provides a unified framework for managing both human and AI-driven work while enabling organisations to maintain control over data, governance and compliance. The company aims to help enterprises and managed service providers (MSPs) streamline these processes through a single operating model.
