About Us

We work with entrepreneurs and business owners who have been busy laying and incubating their business egg, watching it hatch, caring for it night and day and now it’s ready to take flight and leave the nest…

From providing a business and marketing strategy to branding and event management – Underwing supports, educates and empowers you to take bold action, improve your team dynamics and culture, allowing you to focus on your mission with confidence.

We tailor our services to fit your needs.

Whether you’re looking to create a six-month business plan, put on an event, set up a campaign, launch a product or service, grow your social media following, or simply give your set-up a boost.

Championing talented people and businesses

We believe you need to walk before you can fly. You can expect a free initial call to go through what you need, no matter which service you choose. We’ll figure out where you’re at with your business and work closely with you at every step of the way.

We’ll help you work through challenges, streamline processes, find and fill in the gaps, work from the ground up and create meaningful strategies.

After working with us, you’ll exceed your own expectations.

Our little black book is full of connections; we’ve got you covered if you need developers, analysts, event producers, accountants, content writers, or anything in between. Underwing will help you build your network and form business-boosting collaborations.
