Slingshot Insurance and Skyward Group Form Strategic Partnership for Embedded Insurance Growth
Slingshot Insurance has entered into a strategic partnership with Skyward Group following a $27 million seed funding round co-led by the specialty insurance organization. Under this agreement, Skyward Group will serve as Slingshot's primary carrier partner, providing customers with immediate access to AM Best A-rated capacity across all 50 U.S. states. The partnership aims to leverage Slingshot's AI-native infrastructure and Skyward's underwriting expertise to target the rapidly growing embedded insurance market. The collaboration focuses on high-frequency, lower-severity niches such as travel, amateur sports, and the gig economy, where traditional carrier models often struggle with efficiency. By combining Slingshot’s automated workflows with Skyward's financial strength and specialty knowledge, the companies intend to accelerate the deployment of digital insurance products. This move allows Skyward Group to expand its footprint into new segments of the digital economy through a scalable partnership model.
