Slingshot Insights (SI) is a company that was born out of its founder’s desire to fill a void he experienced as an individual investor after working for years at a large hedge fund. The company works to bridge the gap between the primary research tools accessible to large fund managers and other investors. Both groups are fighting for the same returns, and Slingshot Insights is about further leveling the playing field. Slingshot Insights’ platform marries the discovery and tracking of important catalysts with research projects that help members better understand those events. The first product provides members with access to expert calls. These calls have been long used by professionals, not to solely drive investment direction, but to better understand what products and services are being invested in. New drug data, product launches, complex legal or accounting situations all require a high level of specialized knowledge. SI allows members to propose research projects on the site, advertise those projects to friends and followers, then splits the cost among all interested members. 4 people joining a project results in an 80% savings, plus leverages the community’s acuity. Over time, an increasing number of primary research resources available to the professionals will be brought to Sl's members in an affordable, transparent, and digital way, leveling the investment playing field.
