Radical Ventures' portfolio page offers a concise profile of Slingshot AI, describing it as "a mental health research lab building a foundation model for psychology" and Ash as an app "powered by the first AI foundation model purpose-built specifically for therapy." Unlike general-purpose language models adapted for therapeutic use, the profile notes, Slingshot trained its system from the ground up on clinicians' expertise, combining the largest behavioral health dataset ever collected with reinforcement learning and spanning CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, and motivational interviewing. It captures the company's core claim that Ash "understands the nuanced art of therapy, knowing when to stay silent, when to challenge perspectives, and how to help individuals discover their own insights." Founders Neil Parikh and Daniel Reid Cahn are listed.
