Slingshot AI

Slingshot AI is the team behind Ash, the first AI designed for mental health. Our mission is to make support more accessible and help people change their lives in the ways they want.

We’re building a world-class team by empowering individuals with the autonomy, flexibility, and support they need to do their best work. We dream big, iterate fast, and care deeply. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

Our team spans machine learning, product, engineering, conversational design, clinical, growth, and operations, with offices in both New York City and London.

We're a well-funded Series A company, having raised $93M from Andreessen Horowitz, Radical Ventures, Forerunner Ventures, plus top-tier tech investors involved in ElevenLabs, Captions, Shopify, Plaid, Notion, Canva, Twitch, Airtable, and many others.

Who are we, and why should you join us?

Slingshot AI is on a mission to transform mental health care through the power of AI. Our app, Ash, meets patients where they are — and now we're building the human layer to match.

We're launching a clinical research initiative to study how Ash paired with real therapy supports patient outcomes, and we're looking for licensed therapists who want to help shape how the product is tested and built.

Who Should Apply?

• Clinicians looking for a structured, time-limited contract — 4-week patient engagements with a defined scope
• Clinicians who are fully licensed and carry their own liability insurance (LPC, LMFT, LCSW, or equivalent)
• Therapists already in private practice looking for a side engagement and comfortable holding sessions by telehealth or video
• Clinicians curious about the intersection of AI and mental health — and want a front-row seat
• Therapists who want warm referrals without the business development headache

What Will You Do?

• See net-new patients referred directly through the Ash app — no cold outreach required
• Conduct four 50-minute weekly telehealth sessions per patient, with the goal of seeing each patient within one week of referral
• Maintain HIPAA-compliant session transcriptions and share them with the Slingshot team
• Participate in a research study examining how Ash works with therapy
• Please note, patients consent to data sharing with Slingshot at the point of referral
