When planning this program it was really important for us that the companies elected were companies that not only had unlocked potential for growth, but also had the right mindset and willingness to scale their company. As the West Coast region is facing challenging times we believe these four companies have what it takes to create new jobs and industries for the region. 

We are really excited to present to you our first four companies to attend our Slingshot program. The program’s first cohort is composed of a set of really exciting companies that share a common set of challenges within the tech industry. These “Fab Four” all have high international ambitions, scale potential and share a set of challenges to realise their potential which is a perfect starting point for them to collaborate and be a part of a unique tech scaleup community.

The Slingshot team is really excited about having them aboard, and look forward to helping these companies become the future leaders right here in our region!
