# Senternet > Senternet is an independent studio that builds products and the companies around them: software, brand, operations, and go-to-market. Behind Premail, Comoji, Burly, StockCar, and the nonprofit BeeReady. Senternet ships focused, privacy-first software and does the full build around each product: company and nonprofit formation, brand and design, operations, and go-to-market. The same team that builds and runs its own products takes on a small number of consulting engagements. ## Pages - [Home](https://www.senter.net/): The studio behind Orgabot, Premail, Comoji, Burly, StockCar, and the nonprofit BeeReady.
