Sentropy Technologies (acquired by Discord)

The online communities we visit every day establish norms quickly, shift frequently, and can degrade rapidly. It only takes one user to contaminate an entire community. Sentropy provides a new way to protect the internet: leveraging vast volumes of data, Sentropy’s platform supercharges content moderation with proactive, comprehensive, bias-aware detection capabilities that are easy to deploy and highly scalable. With Sentropy, we get the Internet we deserve. The company was founded in 2018 by John Redgrave, Michele Banko, Taylor Rhyne, and Ethan Breder. Sentropy was established and is led by machine learning experts on the frontlines of using data to fight online abuse and harassment. Sentropy is backed by a stable of top institutional investors including Initialized Capital, King River Capital, Horizons Ventures and Playground Global, founders and leaders from Riot Games, Nextdoor, OpenAI, Twitch, Twitter, and a former head of government.
