From the founder

"The greatest organizations in the world — whether in sports or business — are built on the strength of their partnerships. The right people, in the right roles, working toward the same vision. A great restaurant brand is no different. The most creative concept still needs the right financial partner, the right operator, the right marketer, the right person to help it scale. Finding those people shouldn't require a broker, a lucky connection, or a six-figure fee. It should be as simple as mixing it up with industry stakeholders who see the value in what you have built. That's what Wingman was created to make possible — a place for the growing independent restaurant owner that needs help getting to the next level."
