Overview

Founded as a music monetization platform in 2020, Slingshot pivoted into a broader financial-services and operations platform for creatives. The product centralizes financial and operational tools—offering an integrated corporate card, automated bookkeeping tied to the card, bank account services via Stripe Treasury and Issuing, payments, transfers, and savings features. It also handles HR-like tasks including legal filing and tax paperwork, and offers benefits such as healthcare and retirement. The company raised capital in batches since 2020 (an initial $50,000, then $1.2M, and an additional $1M) and most recently announced a $2.2M pre-seed round. Slingshot plans to use the new funding to expand features and develop an AI assistant to better automate creators’ operations. The platform emphasizes centralizing creators’ data and working with banks to simplify financial management and enable more creative focus.
