Winged Founders

W7 Framework

The Winged Roadmap™

A personalized plan for bedroom founders: milestones, storytelling, opportunity matching, and 1:1 mentorship in a doc, built from your application and paced to your real constraints. Seven chapters you fill in as you go. See examples on @wingedfounders.

  1. The “Before”

    Before anything scales, you need a clear record of where you began.

    Record where you’re starting with a fill-in metrics table, built to create a clear growth narrative later that WF can use to vouch for you.

  2. Bite-sized introspection

    Leadership starts with asking yourself the hard questions.

    A question bank of introspective prompts; pick freely to get your leadership style and story primed before we start committing to outlining your initiative and impact.

  3. Part 1: Your profile

    We’ll polish later, but first understand your direction.

    A workshop on articulating your initiative, impact area, and what you’re building toward. Helps you understand your direction and anchors the rest of the roadmap to a clearly defined mission.

  4. Part 2: Timeline

    A path forward that smoothly integrates into your life.

    Milestones and tasks paced around the constraints and bandwidth you shared; a clear path forward you work through at your own pace, no calls or Zooms required. If at any point you’re stuck or need help, contact us! (For roadmap holders only)

  5. Part 3: Opportunities & applications

    Time is your most precious resource, let us find the best opportunities for you.

    See your matched awards, grants, fellowships, and opportunities. Apply to things you actually qualify for and shave off hours of searching alone.

  6. Part 4: Outreach

    Cover more surface area so luck can find you.

    Apply, keep track of your submissions, and get your story in front of audiences. From magazines to channels, we’ll help you build your brand and visibility, which ultimately leads to more impact and recognition.

  7. Finish line

    Wrap up your story and let us amplify it.

    Submit your completed roadmap with verified before & after impact filled in. Reply to the email you received your roadmap from with your completed roadmap and we’ll set up your free promotion across our channels! Further perks will be announced in the future, so keep an eye out!

What makes WF different

Four things every Winged Founder needs to scale impact.

Fuel for your fire

Motivation is not constant. You will ask, “what’s the point?” That’s why we believe that a genuine, personal motive is key to sustaining your momentum, giving you the reason and fire to keep going, shaping you into an audacious leader.

Storytelling

With the help of our founder, you will be provided with specific prompts and storytelling advice to help you articulate your mission and story in a way that resonates with your audience.

Show them who you are

Don’t be afraid to be seen. WF finds you the best outlets and opportunities to get your story out there. Magazines, podcasts, our network, and more. If you’re scared or unsure, we handle the scary parts for you.

Mentorship and support

Having someone who genuinely believes in you and your wildest visions is a key component to our founders’ success, and more importantly, their self-belief. WF is here to guide you, vouch for you, and help you find your wings.
