About Sentir

Our Story

"How can we make it easier for researchers to solve the country's problems?" 

This question was used to assemble experts from various fields — scientists, entrepreneurs, those with a military background, philanthropists, and many others. The answer culminated in the creation of The Solution for Engineering New Technology and Innovative Research — SENTIR.  

Scientific and technological innovations happen every day and are changing lives. Despite this exciting truth, even world-renown researchers face frustrating obstructions that keep them from doing what they do best — research. SENTIR Research Labs is committed to providing researchers with the support they need to develop their innovations for commercial and governmental applications. SENTIR's support comes in the form of research facilities, funding, and a network of professionals necessary to facilitate the commercialization of viable solutions. 

What sets SENTIR apart is a dedication to removing the usual obstacles on the path to success. This is possible thanks to SENTIR's shared devotion to removing friction from the research, development, and commercialization process as much as possible. A more streamlined research process results in problem-solving at the speed of innovation.

Our Core Values

Integrity

SENTIR is an ardent protector of intellectual property (IP). Researchers utilizing the support of SENTIR Research Labs can expect the utmost diligence in protecting the fruits of their research and development (R&D). Every process is executed with absolute integrity — no exceptions.

Innovation

To expect the cutting edge, one's support must be cutting edge. SENTIR believes that the most innovative solutions demand the most innovative support. The SENTIR team is excited to bolster the efforts of associated researchers by keeping up with resource and professional network demands.

Creativity

Some of the most ingenious solutions come about by some of the least conventional research methods. Because of this, SENTIR celebrates intellectual creativity and disruptive thinking. When it comes to solving problems, no idea is too abstract and no goal too lofty.

Growth

The research and development (R&D) performed by those associated with SENTIR Research Labs is intended to help solve problems of interest to industry and government service. The accompanying economic growth not only helps to create new American-based investment opportunities, companies, and jobs but also to continue to support the R&D necessary to provide tomorrow's solutions.

About Sentir

Our Vision

Long known as one of the energy capitals of the country, Tulsa, Oklahoma has enjoyed the respect of the world for its ingenuity for over a century. SENTIR Research Labs believes that Tulsa has the potential to be recognized as a leading research hub for science and technology around the globe.

Tulsa, Oklahoma was once nicknamed "the Oil Captial of the World." Though oil brought industry to the area, newer industries arrived to transform Tulsa into a beacon of opportunity. One such example is Tulsa's burgeoning role in the world of aerospace research, development, and commercialization. This history in the aerospace industry includes many record-setting astronauts, such as Oklahoma's own Gordon "Gordo" Cooper, Shannon Lucid, and John Herrington.

SENTIR Research Labs is leaning into Tulsa's roots as a hub of ingenuity to drive innovation into the future. Tulsa is experiencing a self-charged re-energization working to draw the brightest minds from all over the country. The initiatives of the George Kaiser Family Foundation (The Gathering Place, Tulsa Remote, etc.), access to many prestigious universities, and the broad appeal Tulsa has for growing families make the city an ideal home base for SENTIR Research Labs. The present and future of Tulsa, Oklahoma is bright for those wanting to help solve the country's problems.
