Slingshot Aerospace
Slingshot Aerospace is a Space Situational Awareness & Data company founded in 2017 and based in Austin, United States. It has raised $82.8M in total funding, most recently a Series A2 in 2022.
Founded in 2017, Slingshot Aerospace builds space-domain-awareness software backed by its own global network of optical sensors, fusing that data with commercial and government feeds into a unified operational picture for satellite operators and defense agencies. The Slingshot Platform supports collision avoidance, anomaly detection, and space traffic management, and the company acquired the Seradata satellite-and-launch database to enrich its analytics. Slingshot raised a $40.85M oversubscribed Series A2 in December 2022 (led by Sway Ventures) for total funding above $70M, and holds contracts with the U.S. Space Force and Missile Defense Agency, including a 2026 Space Force award to power an AI-driven space-warfare training environment. In April 2026 it launched Portal, an AI-driven platform for mission-ready space operations. It is headquartered in Austin, Texas with offices in El Segundo and Colorado.
Slingshot pairs a software-first SDA platform with its own optical sensor network, making it a key independent source of orbital tracking and analytics as LEO grows congested and contested.
