Founded in 2014, Slingshot Insights pioneered a unique cost-sharing model for expert calls and transcript libraries, originally focused on healthcare. The acquisition of Noble Insights extends that model across sectors including energy, industrials, technology, financial services, consumer goods, and more — leveraging Noble’s highly curated expert network built over the past decade.

“Investors today need timely, expert perspectives across multiple sectors — and they need access that’s both scalable and affordable,” said Joe McCann, CEO of Slingshot Insights. “By combining Noble’s multi-sector expertise with Slingshot’s collaborative research platform, we’re delivering a comprehensive solution for clients navigating increasingly complex markets.”

Key Highlights of the Acquisition:

• Expanded Sector Coverage: Slingshot’s healthcare foundation now extends to all sectors through Noble’s diverse expert roster.
• Deep Transcript Library and Survey Capability: Slingshot’s platform, launched in 2014, offers thousands of searchable expert call transcripts and flexible survey capabilities, providing fast, cost-effective qualitative and quantitative insights across all sectors.
• Cost-Effective Research: The merged company offers flexible, no-large-contract solutions, making expert insights accessible to investors of all sizes.
• Leadership Addition: Michael Wolin, founder of Noble Insights, joins Slingshot as President of Business Development, bringing deep experience in expert network operations, client service, and research compliance.
• Global Reach: Partnerships with platforms like Bloomberg and FactSet, alongside Slingshot’s proprietary content hub, amplify client access to insights.
• Technology Investment Roadmap: Slingshot continues to invest in platform enhancements — including improved search functionality, workflow integrations, and AI-powered tools — to help investors more efficiently surface insights and expand access to expert knowledge as the platform grows.

Together, the firms have served over 150 institutional clients, conducted more than 25,000 expert consultations, and are led by a management team bringing over 40 years of combined experience across expert networks, investment research, research compliance, and regulatory governance.

“Joining Slingshot allows us to scale a shared vision — expert access that is highly customized, cost-efficient, and deeply responsive to client needs,” said Michael Wolin, founder of Noble Insights. “We look forward to continuing to expand the platform and introducing new tools and capabilities that support our clients’ evolving research workflows.”

The acquisition reflects Slingshot’s long-term growth strategy, which has included prior acquisitions such as Truth On Call in 2019. The combined platform is positioned to continue expanding its content, technology features, and sector expertise in response to the growing demand for expert-driven, data-informed investment research and primary data solutions.
