About

Welcome to BizDevSherpa, a boutique product management and market research firm. We specialize in helping small and mid-sized business grow. If you have a product or service that is not making the money you know it can, call us. We can help. We look at your product, your target market, and your competition. And then, together, we determine what needs to change to create the results you want.

Simple? Not always. We can help you achieve your goals, but you have to know where you are going and what you want. Like all good sherpas, we help you shoulder the load, and when you stand atop your mountain, we are satisfied to remain in the background and delight in your success.

We have been in business since 2003, and our clients are happy to share their stories so you will understand the results we deliver.

Our first client developed an electronic discovery product. We performed the competitive analysis and discovered two major use cases that could be used to differentiate the product from the competition, which led to a successful beta program, and subsequent sales to three key law firms. We then developed the go-to-market product messages, and developed the product roadmap for the next three release cycles.

Another client wanted to simplify their business by divesting a major software product. We analyzed the market, found a buyer, crafted a winning strategy which resulted in the successful sale of the product without losing a single member of the fifty person engineering, support, and product sales team. The product sold for 3X the prior asking price. As part of our pre-sale analysis, we created key technical documentation that proved to be crucial to the buyer’s due diligence team. We were able to get the right data in the proper form to support both the seller and the buyer.

Not all of our engagements are “major”. We create big results fast when it matters most. For one client, we studied their product, their “niche”, and wrote compelling buyer personas and user stories which drove website landing pages, high converting headlines, and campaign strategy for the next year. We accomplished these results in two weeks.

So whatever your problem, give us a call. We would love to help. And if we can’t, we will probably know someone who can. If we have learned anything in the last twelve years running our own business, it’s this – it’s harder to ask for help than to give it. Let us help your business, for it makes our day.
