WHO WE ARE

In today’s economy, an increasing number of workers are choosing to freelance. By 2027, half the U.S. workforce will be independent contractors.

A new paradigm is needed to accommodate the future of work that is suddenly no longer in the future. That is what Wingspan is building.

We’re a Series A startup based in NYC with backing from some of the best VCs and operators around, including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and the CEOs and founders of Warby Parker, Harry’s, Allbirds, Invision, and Flatiron Health.
Now we’re hiring for you: an ambitious individual ready to help build, design, and take us to the next level.
