Welcome to Sentry's Startup Resource Center — a public hub of practical guides, tips, and documents that startups and early-stage teams can use to navigate building, scaling, and compliance. Startups love Sentry and we love startups back. We also love transparency and Open Source. The goal of this repo is to share what we've learned at Sentry and at the same time, learn from others who contribute their knowledge.
- Guides on navigating operational, technical, and legal challenges
- Internal docs and frameworks we've developed for decision-making
- Tips and best practices for choosing tools, building teams, and staying nimble
The resource center launches with our first contribution:
📄 Legal Tips for Assessing AI Tools — a practical guide to evaluating risk, compliance, and avoiding legal pitfalls when selecting modern AI platforms.
We're just getting started. Expect more resources to roll out regularly.
We don't have all the answers, far from it. If you've built something or have knowledge that could help another founder, engineer, or team, we'd love your contribution.
Ways to contribute:
- Submit improvements to existing docs
- Flag issues, suggest ideas, or ask questions in Discussions
Read our CONTRIBUTING.md for how to get started.
Why did Sentry start this resource center?
We've learned a lot while building Sentry and believe in openness and sharing knowledge, not just code. Sharing what's worked (and what hasn't) can help others avoid pitfalls and build faster.
Who is this for?
Founders, early employees, engineers, PMs — anyone working in or around an early-stage company. If you're figuring things out as you go, this is for you.
What kind of resources will be added?
Everything from legal and compliance tips, to hiring guides, technical scaling strategies, vendor selection processes, and more. If it helped us, and we can make it public, we will.
Can I submit resources from my own startup?
Absolutely! We welcome contributions from anyone with knowledge to share. Be sure your content can be shared publicly and check the contributing guidelines first.
Will you post updates about new content?
Yes! Watch this repo to get updates as we post new resources. You can also follow Sentry on Twitter or our blog for announcements.
