Slingshot

Slingshot is a software consultancy based in Louisville, Kentucky. It takes clients from an early idea to a launched product, with strategists, designers and developers working in one team. Its roots are at the University of Louisville, and it also runs a venture arm for start-up builds.

Services include mobile and web development, UX and UI design, cloud and DevOps work on AWS, enterprise software, healthcare solutions and dedicated teams, including developers placed from Eastern Europe. A separate artificial intelligence service sits alongside these, and the firm hosts a regular AI meetup in Louisville.

Published AI work includes a marketplace for tabletop gaming content built around a client's AI model, and a community app that uses Azure AI to translate between volunteers and newcomers. Other case studies cover a geopolitical intelligence archive, an insurance claims app for MetLife and a hospital research platform for clinicians.

The studio names healthcare as a specialty and has built products for insurance, education, hospitality, sports and public interest clients. Clients range from large corporations to small organisations building a first app.
