Our Story
The traditional PE consultant and advisor model is broken, and a new approach is needed. The tech business landscape is changing at the fastest pace ever, and it’s not just new platforms like Cloud, and new technologies like Generative AI that are revolutionising how tech works and is used. It is also the way tech is now commercialized and consumed that is undergoing massive change at breath-taking speed.
​
For many years, teams of expensive consultants and advisors have been used by PE investment firms to help them understand the tech landscape and to give them advice on the best way to invest. Wingspan believe that is no longer the best model in a rapidly changing environment, because all the risk sits with the PE investor, and the armies of highly paid consultants and advisors get paid regardless of their advice leading to success or even being used. The highly experienced Wingspan team, who have all been through successful PE backed liquidity events, realised it was time for a new model.
​
Wingspan was formed by software industry veterans to increase the Enterprise Value of PE owned technology companies and accelerate their commercial transformation using a shared risk model. Built on a solid foundation of proven tech industry expertise and working to a unique methodology, the Wingspan team are 100% aligned to the North Star goals and shared outcomes, and operate alongside the PE and PortCo teams as secondary investors working to maximize the enterprise value.
​
Operating holistically across all core business functions and leveraging deep insider knowledge of the tech industry’s hyperscale vendors, Wingspan reduce the time it takes to reach North Star and maximize the exit multiple of PE owned technology organizations.
