Why the name Sherpa Markets?

This is a question I hear nearly every time I hand out my business card, and one that I enjoy answering. A few years ago, I took a trip to Nepal to trek the Himalayas. As memorable as the Himalayas were, the Sherpas who accompanied me throughout the trip were equally as inspiring. They were my guides, friends, and teachers. They carried what I could not, and helped me get to where I needed to be every day. I would have not been able to complete my journey without their expertise, knowledge and skill.

When thinking of a name for my startup, I knew it needed to embody the vision I had for my firm. This led me to ask: what is the vision of my firm? What value will I be delivering to my customers? And finally, how could I help them on their journey to becoming a successful business? I couldn’t help but think back on my trek and the Sherpas who helped me on my journey. Hence, the name “Sherpa Markets” was born
