Built by Investors, for Investors

We started Sentinel because we got burned. Now we make sure others don't.

// our story

The OTC information gap is a feature, not a bug.

The OTC market trades over $400 billion in annual volume across more than 12,000 securities — and the majority of that universe has no institutional research coverage. The vacuum gets filled by promoter-funded press releases, paid newsletter touts, and recycled investor decks.

Sentinel was founded to be the institutional-grade alternative: independent, conflict-free, methodology-driven research on the OTC market. We do not take stock as compensation. We do not maintain promotional relationships. We do not advise the companies we cover.

Our mission: to bring institutional-grade transparency to the OTC market.
