Sherpa raises $2.2M to manage humans and AI agents together
Sherpa is building an operating system for external work that treats contractors, service providers and AI agents as part of one governed workflow.
Businesses are beginning to manage software agents alongside external human workers, but most workforce systems were not designed for both.
What happened
Sherpa raised a $2.2M pre-seed round co-led by Seedcamp, DN Capital, Activant Capital and Brighteye.
The company is building an operating system for external work spanning contractors, freelancers, consultants, service providers and AI agents.
The platform covers requests, governance, delivery, measurement and payment.
Why it matters
AI agents create many of the same operational questions as external workers: permissions, accountability, performance and control.
Sherpa is betting that workforce management becomes broader work orchestration across both people and machines.
That makes the product more structural than another chatbot or point automation tool.
The bigger picture
The enterprise workforce is becoming hybrid in a new sense.
Companies may soon coordinate employees, external specialists and software agents inside the same operating model. Sherpa is building for that transition.
