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 (SRL) 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 relevance.

Dayton, OH was known as the “Innovation Capital of the World” in the 1900s because of its rich history of ingenuity and technological advancement. The city is home to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, which has played a significant role in the development of aviation and aerospace technology. The Wright brothers, who invented the first successful airplane, lived and worked in Dayton, and the city has honored their legacy with the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Dayton’s access to many prestigious universities, and the broad appeal Dayton has for growing families make the city an ideal for one home base for SENTIR Research Labs.

One of the most notable examples of Dayton’s ingenuity is the invention of the cash register. James Ritty, a saloon owner, created the first mechanical cash register in 1879 in response to employee theft.
This invention revolutionized the retail industry, and the National Cash Register Company, which Ritty founded, became one of the largest manufacturers of cash registers in the world. Today, the Dayton region continues to be a hub for advanced manufacturing and logistics, with companies like Caterpillar, GE Aviation, and Procter & Gamble operating facilities in the area.

Long known as one of the energy capitals of the country, Tulsa, OK has enjoyed the respect of the world for its ingenuity for over a century. 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 for another home base for SENTIR Research Labs.

SENTIR Research Labs is leaning into Dayton’s and Tulsa’s roots as hubs of ingenuity to drive innovation into the future. The present and future of Dayton, OH and Tulsa, OK is bright for those wanting to help solve the country’s problems.
