Wingmate

The partner network for boutique agencies

MarketplaceLaunched Oct 2026

The story

Wingmate is a free network where independent and boutique agencies find white-label teams, specialists, overflow partners, and referral connections. Built for solo consultants to 50-person shops, it lets agencies claim profiles, get vouched for by partners they've worked with, and display a bench page showing clients the full team behind them.

Overview

Wingmate is a free, agency-only partner network designed to help independent and boutique agencies find the right collaborators. The platform connects agencies seeking white-label teams, specialists to fill service gaps, overflow capacity, referral partners, and crisis support.

Agencies build profiles describing what they offer and what they need, and the platform matches them bidirectionally so the right partners discover each other. Trust is built through 'worked with' endorsements from agencies that have actually partnered together, which are confirmed by both sides and cannot be purchased. The platform also enables agencies to create public bench pages listing their partner network, each backed by endorsements, allowing smaller shops to pitch like full-service agencies.

Results are ranked by fit, endorsements, and recent activity, with no pay-to-rank model. Profiles and benches are public for discovery and proposal linking, but rates and capacity remain visible only to signed-in agencies, maintaining privacy while enabling agency-to-agency collaboration.
