NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Slingshot Insights, the first and largest crowdfunded expert network and due diligence community, has acquired Truth On Call, a healthcare survey and market research company.
With this acquisition, Slingshot Insights will expand its market research capabilities beyond expert phone interviews and into market research surveys. Already offering direct interview access to thousands of healthcare experts and a database of hundreds of transcribed interviews, the company will now facilitate surveys. The newly combined entity will boast one of the largest verified physician panels, 24 hour survey turnaround time, and the most flexible pricing in the industry through its model of cost sharing and collaboration.
Joe McCann, Slingshot Insights' Co-Founder and CEO, said, "Truth On Call has been our preferred vendor for survey execution since we launched. The opportunity to bring this tremendous service in-house is an exciting day for our company and the Slingshot Community. Truth On Call has a demonstrated ability to provide high caliber insights in just hours on fast moving situations. It is this speed and quality that has enabled its success with both industry advisors, corporate leaders, and premier institutional investors."
Founded in 2008 Truth on Call has built a reputation for innovation in the market research space. Proprietary tools, such as text-based surveys, enable the collection of insights in real time at industry events and conferences, or when news breaks.

Through the acquisition, Slingshot's expanded offering will include multiple new services and solutions for clients including:
- Tracking new product launches in opaque markets before companies report their results.

By adding the important tool of surveys to our market research offering, we will become an even more important partner to industry and every investor.
