Founded in 2008, Sente manages an international technology startup program that brings corporations, public institutions, investors, and startups together to scale innovative ideas from around the globe in one of the largest and most diverse B2B ecosystems in the world: Chicago. We work with our investor partners, corporations, and institutions to connect startups with innovative, scalable opportunities. Through our robust methodology and expertise in technology development and innovation management, we have assisted dozens of startups from more than 15 countries that have grown from the idea stage into the growth stage. Our extensive network of corporations, technology industry executives, and domain experts in the US help these startups enter into US markets based on a well-thought and tested commercial development plan.

Participating startups have the opportunity for commercial pilots, R&D collaborations, strategic investments or joint ventures, go-to-market partnerships, and pre-seed or seed stage investments from Sente or its investment partners.
