We are building the future through Indigenous intelligence.
ABOUT US
Native Sentient Ventures is a global innovation venture guided by Indigenous systems thinking.
We create ethical, human-centered technologies that strengthen the connection between people, culture, and the natural world.
Our work brings together artificial intelligence, education, research, and culture to explore how technology can serve humanity instead of shaping it. We believe progress should be measured by connection, not consumption.
Native Sentient Ventures is structured as an interconnected ecosystem designed to bring together diverse expertise and ways of thinking. Each division enables different teams, disciplines, and partners to contribute their knowledge toward a shared goal of restoring balance in how innovation is imagined and applied.
