Our mission is to make support more accessible and help people change their lives in the ways they want. We’re building a world-class team by empowering individuals with the autonomy, flexibility, and support they need to do their best work. We dream big, iterate fast, and care deeply. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. Our team spans machine learning, product, engineering, conversational design, clinical, growth, and operations, with offices in both New York City and London. We're a well-funded Series A company, having raised $93M from Andreessen Horowitz, Radical Ventures, Forerunner Ventures, plus top-tier tech investors involved in ElevenLabs, Captions, Shopify, Plaid, Notion, Canva, Twitch, Airtable, and many others. ## About the role Experienced clinicians know, moment by moment, where a conversation needs to go. You notice what someone isn't quite saying, you have a view on what would help, and you can explain why. We'd value your judgement on how Ash should handle those moments. ## What you'll do Review anonymised conversations with Ash and judge, as a clinician, whether it's handling key moments well: what it should do, what could go wrong, and why. Your reasoning matters more than polished wording. You won't be in contact with users. You'll work alongside a small group of experienced clinicians and help shape what "great" looks like in an Ash conversation. Where clinicians disagree, that's useful too: it tells us a moment is genuinely nuanced. You might be a great fit if - You're a licensed or registered clinician with 3+ years of client work since qualifying. - In the UK: an HCPC-registered practitioner psychologist, or a counsellor or psychotherapist on a PSA-accredited register (e.g. BACP, UKCP, NCPS). - In the US: an independent license such as psychologist, LCSW, LPC, LMHC or LMFT. - You have a clear sense of what you'd do in a session, and you can put your reasoning into words. - You've supervised, trained or mentored other clinicians. - You care more about what helps the person in front of you than about following a protocol. - You write clearly in English. - No technical background needed, but personal experience using AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude will help. ## Why join - Meaningful work. Help shape something that could change how mental health support works for millions of people. Every morning the team sees messages from people calling Ash "life changing." - Your judgement, not a checklist. We think what sets great practitioners apart matters more than any single protocol. We want your view, including where it differs from others'. - Flexible and remote. Fits around your clinical work. How it works - Apply (about 2 minutes). Share your LinkedIn or a professional profile. - We read every application, on a rolling basis. - If you're shortlisted for the first group, we'll be in touch by Friday 6 November about next steps, including a paid sample task of about an hour. - Join the group. You'll work 5–20 hours a week, on your own schedule. $100–140/hour in the US or £70–100/hour in the UK, based on experience. All conversations are anonymised before review. Some touch on emotionally difficult topics, including risk. This is a freelance contractor role, with no employee benefits. ## About Slingshot AI ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Slingshot AI is an AI research lab building the first foundation model for psychology, powering its consumer product "Ash," an AI designed for mental health support. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States - **Founded**: 2022 - **Founders**: Daniel Cahn and Neil Parikh ## Core Business - Primary industry/industries: Mental Health AI, Wellness and Fitness Services - Target customers: B2C (individuals seeking mental health support) and B2B (organizations needing AI-assisted crisis text response and AI counseling) - Mission or purpose statement: "To make mental healthcare more accessible and help people change their lives in the ways they want." ## Products & Services - **[Ash]**: The first AI designed for mental health. A consumer-facing product that functions as a conversational AI therapist, built on Slingshot’s proprietary foundation model for psychology. It focuses on increasing user autonomy, competence, and relatedness, integrating approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, gestalt, and psychodynamic therapy. - **[Foundation Model for Psychology]**: A task-specific generative model trained on large-scale psychological data, designed to respect individual value systems and cultural norms, powering both Ash and B2B use cases like AI-assisted crisis text response. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total Funding — $136M (across multiple rounds including seed and Series A) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Radical Ventures, Forerunner Ventures, Felicis (led seed round), plus top-tier tech investors involved in ElevenLabs, Captions, Shopify, Plaid, Notion, Canva, Twitch, and Airtable.

The company is deeply focused on making a tangible impact on mental health. - **Culture**: Values include "celebrate divergence and value authenticity," "move fast and embrace the unknown," "treat each other like adults," and "always in search of truth." Emphasis on autonomy, ownership, and fast iteration. - **Work model**: In-office (employees work from physical offices in NYC or London). Offices are described as collaborative spaces with meals and drinks provided. - **Perks**: Competitive salary, significant equity, unlimited holiday, L&D budget (courses/books/conferences), therapy coverage, private health insurance, company off-sites, office meals and drinks. - **Team**: Small but growing fast (34 people, +80% YoY). Team spans multiple countries (US, UK, Canada) and departments (technical, product, design, clinical, operations). High ownership and impact for early employees. ## Sources 1.
