Slingshot AI is the team behind Ash, an AI built to provide mental health support at scale. We are building a foundation model for psychology to make mental healthcare more accessible and help people change their minds and lives in the ways they want.

Our mission is to help a billion people by creating AI that understands diverse therapeutic approaches (CBT, DBT, ACT, gestalt, psychodynamic) and respects individual values and cultural norms. We prioritize self-determination: increasing autonomy, competence, and relatedness rather than replacing human therapists. Ash is designed to be accountable, push back appropriately, and support long-term change rather than simply giving answers.

Our flagship product, Ash (TalkToAsh.com), has been beta-tested by tens of thousands of people and therapists. We are a well-funded Series A company (raised $93M) with teams in New York City and London, combining machine learning, product, clinical research, and operations to iterate rapidly and responsibly.
