Slingshot Insurance Emerges from Stealth with $27 Million Seed Investment to Build AI-Native Infrastructure for Embedded Insurance

Slingshot Insurance, the AI-native insurance company built for the embedded economy, emerged from stealth with $27 million in seed financing co-led by Rally Ventures and Skyward Group. Several P&C industry veterans also participated in the oversubscribed round, including Jim Hays, who will join the company’s Board of Directors.

Embedded insurance is emerging as one of the fastest-growing segments of the P&C market. Industry forecasts suggest it could grow from roughly 3% of global P&C premiums today to nearly 20% over the next decade, significantly outpacing the broader market. Slingshot, co-founded by Rally Ventures and Ethan Genteman, former Chief Actuarial Officer at Palomar Holdings, is purpose-built to help those serving the embedded insurance market, including industry vertical software platforms, managing general agents (MGAs), and insurance distributors, capitalize on that shift. The platform gives them the technology, capacity, and speed to launch and scale insurance products for niche and rapidly evolving embedded opportunities, such as amateur sports, travel, and the gig- and independent-work economy.

“Traditional carrier infrastructure wasn’t built for embedded insurance’s risk and economic model. Embedded products tend to be higher-frequency, lower-severity risks, often with smaller premiums, while incumbent systems and operating models carry fixed costs designed for a much different market,” said Ethan Genteman, co-founder and CEO of Slingshot. “Our infrastructure changes those economics by dramatically lowering the cost of administering policies and accessing capital. That makes products viable that historically were not, creating value for customers and capital providers while opening up entirely new embedded insurance opportunities.”
