THE
CHALLENGE
Wing Venture Capital, a respected pillar of the venture ecosystem, faced an unexpected hurdle: while revered within VC circles, its presence among early-stage enterprise founders was underwhelming. Founders didn’t immediately associate Wing with the go-to firm for transformative partnerships. Adding to the challenge, the firm’s emerging partners, Zach DeWitt and Jake Flomenberg, needed to establish their voices in a competitive industry, where reputation often speaks louder than results.
Wing’s mission was ambitious but clear: carve out its place as the premier early-stage enterprise VC by building a commanding brand identity, expanding its influence, and positioning its team as trusted authorities for the next generation of groundbreaking founders.
