In March, when we announced In-App Parsing, we described the loop every Archer user enters:
Parse → Map → Analyze → Comp → Underwrite → Share.
Today, the last step ships. Sharing is live in Archer.
Here’s the math every deal in this industry runs into, whether anyone says it out loud or not.
A two- or three-person acquisitions team might see hundreds of deals a year. They cannot give real attention to all of them. There aren’t enough hours. So they triage. Some deals get a full workup. Some get twenty minutes and a gut call. And some get opened, skimmed, and quietly set aside. Not because the deal was wrong, but because working through the documents was going to cost half a day the team didn’t have.
That’s the bandwidth math, and it’s the reason Archer exists: we help teams do more deals without more people. Our clients have used that unlock on their own pipelines for years. Mesa Capital tripled the deals they evaluate. IPA Texas grew underwriting volume 40% year over year with the same team.
But there are two sides to every deal, and until today the bandwidth unlock only worked on one of them.
When you’re the one sending the deal (a sponsor taking a package to JV equity, a team going out to lenders, a broker marketing a listing), the recipient’s bandwidth is your problem. Every deal you work involves other parties, and right now each one of them starts from scratch: re-parsing the same PDFs, filling in the same details, remapping the same T12 to their chart of accounts. That’s dead time on your deal.
Sharing removes it.
Sharing lets you send any property in Archer as a curated, self-contained view of the deal. Built in minutes, controlled by you.
The flow is simple. Open the property, hit Share, and:
The recipient doesn’t get a pile of raw files and an afternoon of homework. They get the deal itself: property summary and sources, deal information, the documents you selected, and the parsed financials and comps behind the analysis.
Read that last part again, because it’s the whole point. The recipient isn’t starting from raw documents. There’s no need to re-extract a poorly formatted PDF, or use the latest document extraction AI, hoping that it doesn’t make a mistake. They’re starting from clean, structured deal information, the same starting position Archer clients have had on their own pipelines for years. Three clicks later, they have an underwrite generated in their model, ready for human review. The half-day of document wrangling that used to stand between “received the deal” and “formed a view on the deal” is gone.
Which means the twenty-minute skim becomes a real look. The “we’ll try to get to it” becomes “we’ll get you an answer in an hour.” More of the people you send to can genuinely engage, and the ones who engage do it sooner and go deeper, because you handed them their bandwidth back and they spent it on your deal.
There’s an element of giving your partners their bandwidth back. But the bigger truth is this: we’re tearing down the walls that hold this industry back from doing more transactions. An archaic market becomes a more efficient one, one shared deal at a time.
For most of our clients (acquisitions teams, sponsors, owners), the first shares will go to JV equity prospects, LPs, and lenders.
You’ve already done the work. You parsed the financials, built the underwrite, ran the comps. That’s just what analyzing a deal in Archer produces. Sharing takes that finished work and hands it to your partners intact. Everyone works from the same clean information from day one, and the first conversation starts at “here’s what I think about the deal” instead of “still working through the T12.”
One investment firm in the Carolinas just did exactly this: a portfolio deal, shared with a set of prospective JV equity partners, every partner starting from the same structured view of the same numbers.
Every group that couldn’t get to your deal for bandwidth reasons is a buyer you lost for reasons that had nothing to do with the property. Sharing grows your buyer pool. You already processed the documents for your BOV; now the raw files can travel with clean data that flows straight through to your buyer pool. More groups can genuinely evaluate the deal. A broader set of buyers spending real time means better odds of competitive tension, and a better outcome for you and your seller. It also doesn’t hurt that you show up as the most technologically capable team the buyer heard from that week.
And let’s be clear about what Sharing is not: it is not a deal room, and it doesn’t ask you to change how you run a process. It’s a link. Drop it into the deal room you already use, your email campaign, or hand it directly to buyers, and everyone benefits. A brokerage team in Texas is already using it exactly this way, on off-market pocket listings where they want maximum attention from the groups they are asking to take a look at each deal.
Every share is a living thing you manage: close it when the conversation ends, reopen it if it restarts, cut a fresh link whenever you want. Require an access request before anyone enters, or keep it to specific invited emails. Preview as the recipient at any time. And you can see opens and recipient activity, so your follow-up goes to the people actually in the deal.
When we wrote out Parse → Map → Analyze → Comp → Underwrite → Share in March, the last arrow was a promise. Here’s why it mattered enough to build: every step before it makes your team faster, but Share is the step that makes the network faster.
Everyone in this industry is racing to make document extraction quicker, and AI keeps making the individual desk faster. But when every party re-extracts the same documents, the gains stop at each desk. The real unlock isn’t faster extraction repeated by everyone. It’s clean, structured deal data that travels, so the work happens once and the whole network moves. You share with your lender; your lender’s analyst starts from structured data. The deal moves at the speed of the analysis, not the speed of the document handling.
We’ve said for a year that we’re building the environment where Parsing goes away. Not just for you, but for everyone your deals touch. This is what that looks like when it starts happening.
Sharing is live for all Archer clients today. Open any property → Share. Three minutes, the first time.
Do my recipients need an Archer account? No. Recipients open the share and work with what you sent. If they want to run this kind of analysis on their own deals, there’s a path for that too, but nothing about viewing your share requires it.
Can recipients see anything beyond what I share? No. A share contains exactly what you selected: the documents you picked, the underwriting scenario you chose, the summary you pinned. Nothing else in your account is visible. The preview-as-recipient view shows you precisely what they’ll see.
Is this a deal room? No. Deal room platforms manage marketing campaigns, offer processes, CRM sync, and a lot more, and they’re good at it. A Share is a curated view of one deal’s information, built from work you’ve already done in Archer. Plenty of clients will drop a Share link inside the deal room or process they already run.
What does Sharing cost? It’s included on every plan.
