Platform

How Sherpa runs a deal.

Sherpa OS is the operating system for M&A. Source targets, run diligence and the data room, execute Day 1 and integration, track value creation against ERP actuals, and monitor every investment through exit.

Thesis and sourcing

Find the targets that fit your thesis.

Score every target against your investment thesis and the companies you already own. Research it, argue it and decide it in one place.

Henry works the pipeline with you and makes the case for and against. When a target converts, your research goes with it.

Diligence

Understand what you're buying.

Run the data room, requests and Q&A in one place. Every file is scanned, access-controlled and logged.

Ask any question of the documents and get the answer with its source. Dewey files every document; Adrian has read all of them.

Close and Day 1

Walk into Day 1 ready.

Plan Legal Day 1 and Operational Day 1 separately, and sequence the contracts, systems, payroll and announcements that have to land first.

The plan starts from what diligence found, so nobody rebuilds it the week after signing.

Integration

Keep every workstream moving together.

Seventeen workstreams on one plan, with owners, dependencies, milestones, risks and decisions. Status stays current because the work happens here.

Each workstream lead works with an agent who knows the function, and Scout keeps them in step.

Value creation and actuals

Know whether the deal is delivering.

Turn the investment case into initiatives with baselines, targets and owners. Compare them with ERP actuals and see what's ahead, what's behind and where the thesis is moving off plan.

After close

Keep every commitment in view.

Track R&W survival periods, breaches and claims, and every earn-out period, statement and deadline, from close forward.

Maxwell watches the policy. Ernie drafts the earn-out statements.
