Our take
Roughly one-third of US workers performed freelance work in the last year, with the number of companies relying on the work of independent contractors continuously rising, placing their services in high demand. Yet freelancers still face many issues when it comes to working. Things like payroll, insurance, and tax are aspects that are quite straightforward for those who are employed, but far more complicated when working independently.
Wingspan is a payroll platform created to solve some of the common financial challenges often faced by freelancers. While there are many other platforms offering a similar service, Wingspan stands out by being an all-in-one platform, replacing a number of tools that businesses typically utilize when it comes to paying and onboarding freelancers.
Due to its differentiating features, Wingspan has witnessed steady growth and has more than 20,000 members as well as hundreds of enterprise clients, and is on track to surpass a billion in contractor payments by the end of the year. Because of Wingspan's ongoing success along with the help of investors, the company is now in a position to expand its workforce to keep up with the demand for its services.

Company values
- Members first: We’re focused on serving the ever-evolving needs of our members. This means continually building new products and services that actually help our members work for themselves the way they want.
- Shared purpose: We are stronger together. With the shared experience of working independently, we understand the value in building a common community that can advocate, connect, and support one another.
- New standard: We believe the definition of work is outdated, and it hasn’t kept up with the independent workforce that is only continuing to grow. We designed Wingspan to be the essential everything our members need, all in one place.
- Make magic: We’re challenging the existing assumption that choosing to work for yourself means living with uncertainty and chaos. Wingspan provides freelancers with confidence, stability and flexibility with a freelancing experience that simply works.
