ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the SEC using the "shelf" registration process. Under this shelf registration process, the Selling Securityholder may, from time to time, sell the Resale Shares in one or more offerings through any means described in the section entitled "Plan of Distribution." While we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Resale Shares by the Selling Securityholder pursuant to this prospectus, we have received approximately $9.7 million in net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes.

A prospectus supplement may add, update or change information included in this prospectus. Any statement contained in this prospectus will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus to the extent that a statement contained in such prospectus supplement modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified will be deemed to constitute a part of this prospectus only as so modified, and any statement so superseded will be deemed not to constitute a part of this prospectus. You should rely only on the information contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus, and any applicable prospectus supplement. You should read both this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the registration statement together with the additional information to which we refer you in the sections of this prospectus entitled "Where You Can Find More Information."

Neither we nor the Selling Securityholder have authorized anyone to provide you with any information or to make any representations other than those contained in this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectuses prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. Neither we nor the Selling Securityholder take responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you.

This prospectus is an offer to sell only the securities offered hereby and only under circumstances and in jurisdictions where it is lawful to do so. No dealer, salesperson or other person is authorized to give any information or to represent anything not contained in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus. This prospectus is not an offer to sell securities, and it is not soliciting an offer to buy securities, in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement is accurate only as of the date on the front of those documents and any information we have incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement, or any sale of a security. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

For investors outside the United States: neither we nor the Selling Securityholder have done anything that would permit this offering or possession or distribution of this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required, other than in the United States. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus must inform themselves about, and observe any restrictions relating to, the offering of our securities and the distribution of this prospectus outside the United States.

This prospectus contains summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries are qualified in their entirety by the actual documents. Copies of some of the documents referred to herein have been filed, will be filed or will be incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and you may obtain copies of those documents as described below under "Where You Can Find More Information."

Solely for convenience, trademarks, trade names and service marks referred to in this prospectus may appear without the ^® or ^TM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that

RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, including the risks related to the proposed Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement disclosed in Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 15, 2026, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in any applicable prospectus supplement before making an investment decision. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be materially adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also carefully read the section titled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Risks Related to this Offering by the Selling Securityholder

The sale of the securities registered for resale hereunder and future sales of substantial amounts of our securities in the public market (including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the Notes), or the perception that such sales may occur, in particular by a significant and/or controlling stockholder, may cause the market price of our securities to decline significantly.

We are registering for resale 15,971,890 shares of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock offered for resale by the Selling Securityholder in this prospectus represent approximately 51.3% of our total Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2026. Together with its affiliates, the Selling Securityholder is currently our largest stockholder, and assuming the Issuance Approval and the immediate exchange of the Initial Notes for shares of Common Stock, the Selling Securityholder would, based on the Celadon 13D/A filed on May 4, 2026, beneficially own 54.6% of our common stock and become our controlling stockholder. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, although we are not obligated to issue or sell any Additional Notes other than the $6.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes that Parent may be required to purchase pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we may choose to sell up to a total of $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Assuming that we sell $6.0 million or $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes, the Issuance Approval is obtained and Celadon immediately exchanges all of its Notes for shares of our common stock, Celadon would beneficially own 62.3% or 77.5% of our common stock. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Notes, if the Merger closes, we have the right to force the exchange of all outstanding Notes for shares of our common stock. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders and could cause our stock price to decline.

The shares of Common Stock underlying the Initial Notes offered for resale by the Selling Securityholder under this prospectus are not subject to volume limitations pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. We cannot predict if and when the Selling Securityholder may sell such shares in the public markets. Furthermore, in the future, we may issue additional shares of Common Stock or other equity or debt securities convertible into shares of Common Stock.

Pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not issue greater than 6,225,836 shares of Common Stock upon exchange of the Notes until we obtain the Issuance Approval in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market. We have agreed to call a meeting of our stockholders as promptly as practicable, but in any event not later than August 31, 2026, to seek such stockholder approval. At that meeting, Celadon, which is our largest stockholder, will be able to vote its pre-transaction shares, and has agreed to vote such shares, in favor of the Issuance Approval. The Issuance Approval requires the affirmative

16

vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast on such matter, and abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal. Therefore, all 15,971,890 shares of our Common Stock, plus any shares of our common stock underlying Additional Notes issued in the future, may become issuable in exchange for the Notes in the future, notwithstanding the limitations provided by the Notes and the rules the Nasdaq Capital Market that currently apply to the Notes.

The resale of the 15,971,890 shares of Common Stock registered by the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or any shares underlying Additional Notes in the public market, or the perception that the Selling Securityholder intends to sell such shares, could reduce the market price of our Common Stock.

17

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Resale Shares covered by this prospectus.

18

DILUTION

As of March 31, 2026, the net tangible book value of our Common Stock was approximately $(10.0) million, or $(0.32) per share of Common Stock based on 31,144,754 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding. Net tangible book value per share as of a particular date represents our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock.

After giving effect to the issuance of 15,971,890 shares of our Common Stock upon exchange of the Notes at an assumed price of $0.63 per share, the pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2026 would have been approximately $(0.6) million or $(0.01) per share. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $0.31 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $0.64 per share to the investors purchasing shares of our Common Stock in this offering at the assumed price per share.

The following table illustrates the dilution in net tangible book value per share as a result of this offering:

Assuming the Selling Securityholder purchases all the Additional Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million, and exchanges the Notes for 47,916,669 shares of our Common Stock at an assumed price of $0.63 per share, the pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2026 would have been approximately $28.3 million or $0.30 per share. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $0.31 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $0.33 per share to the investors purchasing shares of our Common Stock in this offering at the assumed price per share.

For purposes of calculating pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value, the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding prior to and after this offering is based on 31,144,754 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2026, assumes the issuance of 15,971,890 shares of our Common Stock in connection with this offering, and excludes, in each case, as of such date:

To the extent that any of the outstanding options are exercised, warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock are exercised or restricted stock units vest, there would be further dilution to investors participating in this offering.

19

SELLING SECURITYHOLDER

This prospectus relates to the reoffer and resale of up to 15,971,890 Resale Shares by the Selling Securityholder from time to time upon the exchange of the Initial Notes. We are registering the Resale Shares in order to permit the Selling Securityholder to offer the Resale Shares for resale from time to time. For additional information regarding the Resale Shares being offered by the Selling Securityholder pursuant to this prospectus, see "Prospectus Summary-May 2026 Private Placement" above. As a closing condition to the issuance of the Initial Notes under the Purchase Agreement, we entered into the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the Common Stock underlying the Initial Notes sold to the Selling Securityholder.

When we refer to the "Selling Securityholder" in this prospectus, we mean the person listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Securityholder's interest in the Resale Shares after the date of this prospectus such that registration rights shall apply to those securities.

The following table is prepared based on information provided to us by the Selling Securityholder. It sets forth the name and address of the Selling Securityholder, the aggregate number of Resale Shares beneficially owned as of the date of this prospectus, and the aggregate number of Resale Shares that the Selling Securityholder may offer pursuant to this prospectus, and the number of Resale Shares beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholder after the sale of the securities offered hereby. We have based percentage ownership after this offering on 31,144,754 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2026. Unless otherwise described below, to our knowledge, the Selling Securityholder has not held any position or office or had any other material relationship with us or our affiliates during the three years prior to the date of this prospectus. In addition, except as otherwise described below, based on the information provided to us by the Selling Securityholder, the Selling Securityholder is not a broker-dealer or affiliate of a broker-dealer.

We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Securityholder will in fact sell any or all of such Resale Shares. In addition, the Selling Securityholder may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the Resale Shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date of this prospectus. For purposes of this table, we have assumed that the Selling Securityholder will have sold all of the securities covered by this prospectus upon the completion of the offering. Any changed or new information given to us by the Selling Securityholder, including regarding the identity of, and the securities held by, each Selling Securityholder, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement or amendments to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, if and when necessary.

Please see the section entitled "Plan of Distribution" for further information regarding the Selling Securityholder's method of distributing these securities.

Relationship with Selling Securityholder

Pursuant to a letter agreement executed with Celadon in December 2024, Celadon had the right to designate certain directors to our Board, subject to the terms and conditions provided in its letter agreement. On December 9, 2024, Donald Tang was appointed as a director of our predecessor's Board of Directors pursuant to the letter agreement with Celadon. On March 7, 2025, Feng Hsiung was appointed as a director of our predecessor's Board of Directors and on July 18, 2025, Bryan Baum was appointed as a director of our predecessor's Board of Directors pursuant to a request by Celadon under terms of the same letter agreement. In connection with our reorganization, we, Celadon and our predecessor entered into an amended and restated letter agreement adding us as a party to the letter agreement, and the same three directors were appointed to our Board. As of the date of this prospectus, Celadon held three of the eight seats on the Board.

We have entered into certain agreements, which have been amended from time to time, with GeneFab, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or GeneFab, and Valere Bio, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the parent company of GeneFab, or Valere, which is wholly owned by a company managed by Celadon, for the transfer of certain assets, provision of services (for which we may be reimbursed) and sublease of our premises in California as well as license of our intellectual property rights to conduct manufacturing services. These agreements with GeneFab include a letter agreement whereby GeneFab has the option to purchase certain shares of our common stock, subject to the terms specified therein. This letter agreement relating to the option was assigned to Valere Holdings LLC, an affiliate of GeneFab, and it was terminated in April 2026. In addition, we entered into a economic share agreement in August 2023, pursuant to which we were entitled to receive 10% of the realized gains of GeneFab's parent company, and this agreement was terminated in April 2026. Donald Tang, who is currently a member of our Board, is a manager of Celadon Partners, LLC, which is the sole manager of Celadon.

In December 2024, we sold certain warrants and shares of convertible preferred stock to Celadon, and the shares of Common Stock underlying such securities were registered for resale pursuant to a registration rights agreement.

On April 27, 2026, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with the Selling Securityholder for the sale of the Notes. On May 20, 2026, we issued and sold the Initial Notes and entered into certain ancillary agreements with or in favor of the Selling Securityholder. For more information, see the section above titled "Prospectus Summary-May 2026 Private Placement".

On July 14, 2026, we entered into the Merger Agreement with affiliates of Celadon. For more information, see the section above titled "Prospectus Summary-Merger Agreement".

Other than these relationships with Celadon, the Selling Securityholder has not had a material relationship with us or any of our predecessors within the past three years, other than as a result of the ownership of shares of Common Stock, the Notes or other securities.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following description summarizes certain important terms of our capital stock as of the date of this prospectus as specified in our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws. Because the following description is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For a complete description of the matters set forth in this section titled "Description of Securities," you should refer to the Charter, the Bylaws, the Investor Rights and Lock-up Agreement dated June 8, 2022, by and among us (as successor to Senti Biosciences, Inc.) and the parties listed therein as Investors (the "Investor Rights and Lock-Up Agreement"), and the Registration Rights Agreement dated December 2, 2024 between us (as successor to Senti Biosciences, Inc.) and the parties listed therein, which are included as exhibits to Senti Biosciences, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and to the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

Authorized and Outstanding Stock

The Charter authorizes the issuance of 510,000,000 shares, consisting of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. As of March 31, 2026, there were 31,144,754 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Common Stock

The Charter provides the following with respect to the rights, powers, preferences and privileges of our common stock.

Voting Power

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, the holders of our common stock possess all voting power for the election of the directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Dividends

Holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor. We have not historically paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial conditions. In no event will any stock dividends or stock splits or combinations of stock be declared or made on our common stock unless our common stock at the time outstanding are treated equally and identically.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, our net assets will be distributed pro rata to the holders of our common stock, subject to the rights of the holders of the preferred stock, if any.

Preemptive or Other Rights

There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock.

22

Transfer Rights

Subject to applicable law and the transfer restrictions set forth in Article IV of the Bylaws, shares of our common stock and the rights and obligations associated therewith are fully transferable to any transferee.

Preferred Stock

Undesignated Preferred Stock

The Charter provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors is authorized to fix designations, powers, including voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the shares of each series of preferred stock and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof. Our board of directors is also able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of our common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of Senti or the removal of existing management.

Registration Rights

2022 Registration Rights Agreement

We (as successor to Senti Biosciences, Inc.) and certain of our stockholders are party to the Investor Rights and Lock-up Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, such stockholders were granted certain registration rights with respect to certain shares of securities held by them.

The holders of the Founder Shares (as defined in the Investor Rights and Lock-up Agreement), the holders of the Private Placement Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and the Anchor Investors (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the registration and stockholder rights agreement requiring us to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of an initial business combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering our securities. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Under the Investor Rights and Lock-up Agreement, the Anchor Investors will be entitled to registration rights in respect of these shares. In addition, the PIPE Investors (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the subscription agreements they entered into with us in connection with the PIPE Investment (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).

These registration rights are only applicable so long as we do not already have a resale registration statement in effective for these shares. As of the date of this prospectus, we currently have in effect a resale registration statement for the shares included in the Investor Rights and Lock-up Agreement.

Registration Rights Agreement (PIPE Transaction)

We (as successor to Senti Biosciences, Inc.) and the investors, who participated in the private placement transaction in December 2024 (the "PIPE Transaction"), are party to a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, we agreed to file, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the closing of the PIPE Transaction, but, in any event, not later than one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter (the "PIPE Filing Date"), a resale registration statement on Form S-3 (or Form S-1 if Form S-3 is not available) providing for the resale by the Selling Securityholders of (i) the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A

23

Preferred Stock and (ii) the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants , wherein (i) and (ii) collectively are referred to as the Registrable Shares, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such resale registration statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable but in any event no later than the earlier of (a) the seventy-fifth (75th) calendar day following the PIPE Filing Date of the registration statement if the SEC notifies us that it will "review" the registration statement and (b) the fifth (5th) business day after the date we are notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the registration statement will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further review. We also agreed to take all steps necessary to keep such registration statement effective at all times until all Registrable Shares have been resold, or there remains no Registrable Shares. We have agreed to pay a liquidated damages penalty upon certain failures to meet the deadlines set forth above or to keep the resale registration statement continuously effective, which penalties will not exceed 5% of the aggregate subscription amount.

Registration Rights Agreement (Notes Offering)

We and the Selling Securityholder who participated in the issuance of the Notes entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, we agreed to file, as promptly as reasonably practicable following any issuance of the Notes, but, in any event, not later than thirty days thereafter (the "Filing Deadline"), a resale registration statement on Form S-3 (or another appropriate form if Form S-3 is not available) providing for the resale by the Selling Securityholder of the shares of common stock issuable upon exchange of the Notes, and to use reasonable best efforts to cause any such resale registration statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable but in any event no later than the earlier of (a) the seventy-fifth calendar day following the earlier of the filing date and the Filing Deadline of such registration statement if the SEC notifies us that it will "review" the registration statement and (b) the fifth business day after the date we are notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such registration statement will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further review. We further agreed to use reasonable best efforts to keep any such registration statement effective at all times until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Selling Securityholder shall have resold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to such registration statement, (ii) the date on which the Registrable Securities may be resold by the Selling Securityholder without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, and (iii) the date on which the Notes are redeemed, repaid or otherwise repurchased.

To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, our Charter and Bylaws, provide that our board of directors and Officers (as defined in the DGCL) shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty except for liability (a) for any breach of the director or officer's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (b) for the director or officer's acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit, (d) in the case of directors, under Section 174 of the DGCL or (e) in the case of officers, arising from any claim brought by or in the right of the Company.

Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with regard to stockholder proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as directors or new business to be brought before meetings of our stockholders. These procedures provide that notice of stockholder proposals must be timely given in writing to our corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. Generally, to be timely, notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year. Our Bylaws specify the requirements as to form and content of all stockholders' notices. These requirements may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before the stockholders at an annual or special meeting.

The combination of these provisions make it more difficult for the existing stockholders to replace our board of directors as well as for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our board of directors. Because our board of directors will have the power to retain and discharge its officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated preferred stock will make it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.

These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies and to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to hostile takeovers and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of delaying changes in our control or management. As a consequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our stock.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. This statute prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a "business combination" with:

25

A "business combination" includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of a corporation's assets. However, the above provisions of Section 203 would not apply if:

These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing changes in control.

Choice of Forum

Pursuant to our Bylaws, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers or employees to us or our stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our Charter or our Bylaws (including their interpretation, validity or enforceability); or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. This exclusive forum provision will not apply to any causes of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Stockholders cannot waive compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other federal securities laws or the rules and regulations thereunder. Unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternate forum, the United States federal district courts shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. In addition, our Bylaws provide that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock is deemed to have notice of and consented to these exclusive forum provisions.

The forum selection provisions in our Bylaws may limit our stockholders' ability to litigate disputes with us in a judicial forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees, which may discourage the filing of lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees, even though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders. In addition, these forum selection provisions may impose additional litigation costs for stockholders who determine to pursue any such lawsuits against us.

Transfer Agent

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is the transfer agent for our common stock.

Trading Symbol and Market

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "SNTI".

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes the Selling Securityholder and donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from the Selling Securityholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling stockholders for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker- dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

27

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, or another available exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act (it being understood that the selling stockholders shall not be deemed to be underwriters solely as a result of their participation in this offering). Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to use reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part to become effective and to remain continuously effective until the earlier of: (i) the date on which the selling stockholders shall have resold or otherwise disposed of all the shares covered by this prospectus pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to this prospectus and (ii) the date on which the shares covered by this prospectus no longer constitute "Registrable Securities" as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement, such that they may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect and (iii) the date on which the Notes are redeemed, repaid or otherwise repurchased.

LEGAL MATTERS

Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP has passed upon the validity of the Resale Shares offered by this prospectus and certain other legal matters related to this prospectus.

EXPERTS

The consolidated financial statements of Senti Biosciences, Inc. as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, have been incorporated by reference herein and in the registration statement in reliance upon the report of KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, incorporated by reference herein, and upon authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. The audit report covering the December 31, 2025 consolidated financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.

PROSPECTUS

    , 2026

You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus or any supplement or amendment hereto. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus or any supplement or amendment hereto is accurate as of any date other than the date of this prospectus or any such supplement or amendment. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

The following table sets forth the estimated expenses to be borne by the registrant in connection with the securities being registered hereby. In addition, we may incur additional expenses in the future in connection with the offering of our securities pursuant to this prospectus. If required, any such additional expenses will be disclosed in a prospectus supplement.

We will pay the expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and certain expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholder in disposing of the securities, associated with the sale of securities pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Securityholder will bear all underwriting commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their sale of the securities.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that all of our directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to be indemnified by us to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL. Section 145 of the DGCL concerning indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents is set forth below.

Section 145. Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; insurance.

II-1

II-2

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director or officer shall be personally liable to us or any of our stockholders for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors or officers, except to the extent such limitation on or exemption from liability is not permitted under the DGCL. The effect of this provision of our Certificate of Incorporation is to eliminate our rights and those of our stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suits on our behalf) to recover monetary damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer, including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior, except, as restricted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL. However, this provision does not limit or eliminate our rights or the rights of any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the event of a breach of a director's or officer's duty of care.

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the liability of directors, then, in accordance with our Certificate of Incorporation, the liability of our directors to us or our stockholders will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or

II-3

amendment of provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation limiting or eliminating the liability of directors, whether by our stockholders or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits us to further limit or eliminate the liability of directors on a retroactive basis.

Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that we will, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, indemnify our current and former officers and directors, as well as those persons who, while directors or officers of our corporation, are or were serving as directors, officers, employees or agents of another entity, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney's fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by any such person in connection with any such proceeding.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person eligible for indemnification pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation will be indemnified by us in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by our Board, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification.

The right to indemnification which is conferred by our Certificate of Incorporation is a contract right that includes the right to be paid by us the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding referenced above in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by our officer or director (solely in the capacity as an officer or director of our corporation) will be made only upon delivery to us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such officer or director, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under our Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise.

The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses will not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which any person covered by our Certificate of Incorporation may have or hereafter acquire under law, our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

Any repeal or amendment of provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation affecting indemnification rights, whether by our stockholders or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits us to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis, and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision. Our Certificate of Incorporation will also permit us, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other that those specifically covered by our Certificate of Incorporation.

Our Bylaws include the provisions relating to advancement of expenses and indemnification rights consistent with those which are set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation. In addition, our Bylaws provide for a right of indemnity to bring a suit in the event a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses is not paid in full by us within a specified period of time. Our Bylaws also permit us to purchase and maintain insurance, at our expense, to protect us and/or any director, officer, employee or agent of our corporation or another entity, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

Any repeal or amendment of provisions of our Bylaws affecting indemnification rights, whether by our Board, stockholders or by changes in applicable law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, except to the extent such amendment or change in law

II-4

permits us to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis, and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing thereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our officers and directors, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.5 to our Registration Statement on Form S-4 that was declared effective by the SEC on May 13, 2022. These agreements require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

These limitations of liability do not alter director liability under the federal securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, we agreed to continue to indemnify DYNS' directors and officers and have agreed to the continuation of director and officer liability insurance covering such directors and officers.
