Matt Senter.
I build things. Some have worked better than others. I don’t dance.
The short version.
Matt Senter is a founder, entrepreneur, and CEO based in Durham, NC, with 30 years of professional software development and 15 companies and products founded. He currently leads Senternet and co-founded BeeReady after earlier roles building Superlogic, Lolli, Cosmic, SeedMatrix, and other ventures.
Currently building.
11 projects across AI, media, privacy, productivity, education, and agricultural data.
Senternet· a studio building businesses from scratch
The founder-led studio behind everything else here. Part product lab, part consulting shop, building and shipping software businesses from scratch. My first company reborn with twenty-five years of scars: the redux.

Orgabot· orchestrate the work, not just the agents
A governed operating layer that coordinates agents, people, tools, approvals, and gates across an organization. Autonomous where it should be. Deterministic where it has to be.

Comoji· :emoji: autocomplete, everywhere

Burly· every link, in the right profile

Weatherling· a little weather for your Mac

BeeReady· lifesaving skills, one game at a time
Teaching young athletes CPR, AED awareness, and emergency confidence, built directly into youth sports. Prepared kids. Stronger sidelines.
SeedMatrix· every variety, every trial
Independent variety trial intelligence for seed companies. 1.8 million trial data points across 12 crops and 40 states, sliced by region, soil, irrigation, and trait into comparisons a grower can trust. The company I co-founded in 2008, now built on through Senternet.
Andi Senter· A professional home for a radiologist, researcher, and educator.
A professional website for Andi Senter, MD, bringing her work in breast imaging, research, and medical education together in one place.
A long line
of attempts.
Some shipped to acquisition, some taught me what not to do next time. Both counted.
Feb 2018 → Oct 2023 Lolli Dunno Earn bitcoin when you shop online, partnered with 1,000+ top merchants. Built engineering from zero through Series A. Co-founder · CTO
The consumer side of Lolli was sold to Thesis, and the backend guts were renamed to some other company name that I can never remember.
That happened after I left, so I do not really keep up with it.
Does not really count as an acquisition, I do not think.
2012 → Sep 2017 Cosmic Acquired A commerce gateway giving retailers the ability to sell anywhere. Acquired by POPSUGAR. Co-founder · CTO
Cosmic was acquired by PopSugar and then Rakuten.
2008 → 2013 SeedMatrix Acquired Independent variety trial intelligence for seed companies. Got me obsessed with the founder-to-engineer feedback loop. Co-founder · CTO
SeedMatrix was acquired by Context Network.
More than a decade later I am back, consulting on the platform through Senternet.
Jan 2000 → Aug 2002 Senternet Acquired One of the first Java web hosting companies. Built custom internal and consumer apps, weathered the dotcom bust, sold the company in 2002. Founder · CEO
Senternet was acquired by another hosting company that has long since disappeared.

Say hello.
Best for builders, founders, and anyone working on something interesting.
Always happy to talk shop with people who are shipping things. Discord is the fastest way to reach me and where most conversations end up. For bugs or feedback on a specific product, each one has its own site.
