For Investors
The trades are consolidating around an AI operating layer.
Sherpa is building it.
Home services is a trillion-dollar industry of hundreds of thousands of small companies, and AI just collapsed the cost of running them. The industry consolidates around whoever owns that operating layer, and that's Sherpa.

The bet
Within ten years, contracting businesses run themselves, with AI handling everything between the customer and the crew, humans doing only the skilled work. When operating costs collapse in a trillion-dollar fragmented industry, it consolidates around whoever owns the operating layer. Sherpa is that layer.

The proof
This isn't a deck. The system is already running inside real contracting businesses. The near-term mission is 1,000 contractors modernized in 18 months: enough instrumented businesses that Sherpa stops being a service and becomes the data and operations layer for a slice of the industry.

The founders
Jacob built, scaled, and exited a services business, and spent years inside contracting companies installing exactly these systems. He wrote the thesis in public where anyone can hold him to it, built the product, and sells it himself. His cofounder, Matt Marshall, comes from private equity, where he worked with home-service and construction businesses on exit planning, and has a background in computer science. Between them they know what these businesses need day to day and what they're worth at the finish line. Early-stage investing is founder investing, and that's who you're meeting.
