sherpa, an AI platform for orchestrating external workforces, suppliers, services, and AI agents, has raised $2.2 million in pre-seed funding. The round was backed by Seedcamp, DN Capital, Activant, Brighteye, and a group of operator angels. The investment will support team growth and the company's first enterprise deployments.
Modernizing Workforce Orchestration
sherpa is developing an AI operating system that manages work from initial request through execution, governance, and payment. The platform routes tasks to internal teams, external contractors, or AI agents while providing a unified system for managing enterprise workflows.
The company is initially targeting the external workforce management market, where many organizations still rely on legacy vendor management systems, spreadsheets, and manual processes.
Supporting AI-Driven Enterprise Operations
As enterprises increasingly combine employees, contractors, suppliers, and AI agents, sherpa aims to provide a single platform that orchestrates all types of work while maintaining visibility, governance, and operational control.
Accelerating Enterprise Adoption
The new funding will help expand the team, develop the platform, and launch early enterprise implementations. sherpa plans to build AI infrastructure that simplifies workforce orchestration and replaces fragmented legacy systems with a unified operating platform.
