About

We built Sennik because we needed it.

Two founders based in Portugal: one who has spent years running a talent agency, and one who builds the software.

How it started

Every deal lived in a different thread.

Running a talent agency means keeping track of rates, deliverables, deadlines and contracts across dozens of conversations at once. It was hard to keep it all in my head.

So I kept falling back on temporary fixes: a spreadsheet here, a notes app there. Over time I'd forget to update them, and they stopped being something I could trust.

Every time I needed to confirm a deliverable or a date, I was back to reading every email and message, looking for one line.

So we built the tool we needed: a pipeline that keeps itself up to date, straight from the inbox.

The founders

An agency founder and an engineer.

Friends since we were six. Now building Sennik together.

João Venes

CEO & Co-founder

João Venes

I started working in gaming and talent management at 15, and at 20 I founded my own talent agency, JV Agency.

Since then I've negotiated over $1M in deals for the creators I represent, and finished a degree in management while working.

CTO & Co-founder

João Fernandes

I studied computer engineering and I'm planning a master's in AI abroad. I've been curious about AI since the first tools appeared, and I always wanted to work on it.

Away from the keyboard, I've played federated football my whole life.

What we hold ourselves to

Four rules we don't break.

01

Read-only

Sennik reads your inbox. It never sends, deletes or changes an email.

02

Proof over guesses

Every value comes with the sentence it came from. If the email doesn't say it, we don't fill it in.

03

Your data stays yours

Each agency's data is isolated from every other agency's, at the database level.

04

Built from the work

Every feature starts as a problem we hit running a real agency.

Early access for talent agencies

Your next deal. Not your next spreadsheet.
