Sentra builds an AI “memory model” that learns from calendars, Slack, meetings, and work systems to map how a company’s decisions evolve over time and surface alignment gaps in real time.
Sentra
Sentra is solving company alignment. This is a hard problem that many companies have tried solving in superficial ways. Every company makes decisions — and these are largely reflected in meetings, communication channels, calendars, and work output (e.g. code being pushed to Github). What Sentra does is aggregate those signals into their "memory model", something the founders developed at MIT. It is able to tell the story of a system — how the data changes over time.
They then leverage this memory through features that help both leadership and individual contributors do better work (e.g., daily reports, proactive reminders, meeting summaries, etc.). As a result, every employee at a company can get instant proactive clarity on where communication is breaking down. Cofounders are deeply technical, we were immediately impressed by the quality of their product, and their early customers already love using their tool.
Founders
Jae previously built Starpark, a software company building data analytics for defense. He moved from Toronto to MIT to do research with Ashwin Gopinath which led to Sentra.
Andrey and Jae are best friends since high school. Andrey was an early engineer at Vapi (the voice AI infra most loved by developers). He studied CS at Western University.
Ashwin is a researcher and serial entrepreneur. He’s a professor at MIT and CalTech, did research at GoogleX, and built a company acquired by SomaLogic (Nasdaq: SLGC).
Al spent his entire career doing sales. He was the CRO at Leanplum for 5 years, where he helped scale the business from $0 to $30M in ARR before acquisition. Most recently, he was head of enterprise sales at Vapi.
