About

Enterprise General Intelligence (EGI)! That's the idea I haven't been able to stop thinking about for three years & the reason I left MIT to build Sentra. But let me back up. I've spent most of my career at the interfaces, biology and physics, computation and matter, academia and startups, at places like Caltech, Google and MIT. I've been the dog in Up: genuinely interested in everything, fortunate enough to get to play with most of it. I've also started a few companies along the way and know what building feels like from the inside. But here's what all of it taught me and it wasn't a technical insight. It takes a village to solve hard problems. And getting the most out of that village matters more than any individual breakthrough. The best science I've been part of, the best teams I've built or joined, the constraint was never talent or tools. It was whether the team could stay aligned, retain what it learned, and compound on itself over time. Most teams can't. Not because people are bad at their jobs, but because organizations/teams don't have memory. Every re-litigated decision is a memory failure. Every "didn't we already try this?" Every strategy that quietly contradicts last quarter's strategy. The knowledge is there, scattered across notes, recordings, threads, docs, but none of it becomes usable, structured memory. The context decays. The learning disappears. And the team starts over. That's the problem I'm solving. AGI is coming, and when it arrives, it will be commoditized. The differentiator won't be which model you use. It will be the strength of your team, the internal intelligence, the shared context, the ability to extract compounding value from how your people and agents actually work together. That's what I call Enterprise General Intelligence. Not AGI applied to business. Intelligence that emerges from a team, from its individuals and agents, through their interactions, because the organization can finally remember, learn, and build on itself. Sentra is how I'm building it.
