We find gaps in the market, build deals with strong fundamentals, and pair boots-on-the-ground operations with best-in-class systems to generate exceptional returns.
Slingshot is a forward-looking investor and operator that believes we are in the early stages of an entrepreneurship boom. Rochester, Minnesota sits at the center of a unique convergence — a world-class healthcare anchor, a growing entrepreneurial community, a housing supply gap, and a commercial real estate market still underpriced relative to its fundamentals.
We solve gaps. We don't follow trends or chase cap rates in crowded markets. We listen to what the market is missing, identify deals with strong fundamentals, and build creative solutions that meet real needs — often in places others have overlooked.
Our edge is operational. We unwind complex and distressed deals and reposition them into stabilized assets quickly — using best-in-class technology and automation to keep overhead low and execution sharp. Every dollar saved in overhead is a dollar reinvested in the quality of the spaces we operate and the people inside them.
We are solely focused on investing and operating in Rochester. No third-party management. No brokerage. Just deep, committed, boots-on-the-ground ownership that compounds over time.
"We look for the gap, build the deal, stabilize the asset — and position it for the next wave. That cycle, done right, generates very strong returns."
— Andrew Robinson, Founder & PrincipalWe only invest in Rochester. That depth of local knowledge — the relationships, the market intelligence, the community trust — is an edge you can't replicate from a distance.
Best-in-class software and automation keep our cost basis lean and our service sharp. Lower overhead means better returns and better tenant experience — at the same time.
We've built unique partnerships with local banks, CPAs, and service providers — giving our tenants and partners access to resources and introductions they couldn't access alone.
Slingshot isn't just a real estate company. We're building the infrastructure — the spaces, the partnerships, the connections — that Rochester's next generation of entrepreneurs needs to grow.
We partner with local financial institutions to give our tenants and portfolio companies access to capital, relationships, and financial guidance that accelerates their growth.
Our growing network of CPAs, attorneys, and service providers creates a full-stack support system for the small businesses operating within our ecosystem.
From the farmers market to local hospitality, we are active participants in Rochester's community — not just landlords. That presence builds trust, referrals, and a reputation that compounds.
Our Hub Network creates cross-property connections — tenants in one building get access to the entire network's resources, discounts, and community, creating value that grows with scale.
