Noble Insights

The Noble Insights expert network was founded in New York in 2010. The firm was focused on custom recruiting experts for buy-side clients. Before starting Noble Insights, the founder was a manager at GLG. A long-timer in the US expert network industry, Noble Insights has relationships with many US-based buy-side firms (hedge and credit funds) over its 15-year run.

In June 2025, Noble Insights was acquired by the expert network Slingshot Insights for an undisclosed sum. Slingshot Insights, founded in 2014, had pioneered a cost-sharing model for expert calls and transcript libraries, originally focused on healthcare; the acquisition extended that model across sectors including energy, industrials, technology, financial services, and consumer goods, leveraging Noble's curated expert network. Together, the combined firms said they had served more than 150 institutional clients and conducted more than 25,000 expert consultations, with a management team bringing over 40 years of combined experience across expert networks, investment research, compliance, and regulatory governance. Noble Insights' founder joined Slingshot in a senior business development role following the deal.
