About Sentra
Sentra builds AI organizational memory systems designed to help growing startups overcome the scaling challenges that often cause companies to lose their identity and culture as they expand.

Based in San Francisco and Toronto with a team of approximately 17 people including 7 full-time engineers, Sentra has already achieved significant traction with active enterprise deployments, including a public company in Southeast Asia with 15,000 employees, and is onboarding multiple design partners ranging from hundreds to thousands of employees. The company's mission is straightforward: help companies never lose themselves as they get bigger.
