"Starting over in a new country is so romanticised until you lose your sense of routine and identity. The guy I connected with had moved countries for his wife too — he helped me think about building my own identity outside my partner's circle. Finally felt heard."

What is Wingit?

Testimonials
Real stories from real people who found their perspective through Wingit.
"It wasn't like getting guidance or a roadmap. More like hearing someone's experience and what you can apply to your own situation. Conversation made me feel like my thoughts are valid — and that I'd navigate this well too."
"I was diagnosed with cancer at 25. When the hospital connected me to a survivor, they were so apathetic it made me feel small for being scared. That's exactly why this idea resonated — and why I joined Wingit to help others."
"The second time I got laid off, I couldn't open up to anyone — scared my network would judge me. Wingit matched me with someone who'd bounced back from the same thing. I can't tell you how confident and hopeful I felt after just one conversation."
"I quite enjoyed the conversation. And felt like I could help in the future too — it made me realise how far I've come myself."
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Wingit.
Why We Are Building It
Growing up with a physical deformity, I learned early on how powerful relatability is for building confidence. After navigating transitions of moving countries and facing a layoff, connecting with those who had walked a similar path brought a perspective that was hard to find elsewhere. That's why we built Wingit: a real human connection built on empathy.
After facing a serious health diagnosis in my early twenties, I realized that even with a strong support system, something was missing: the perspective of someone who had actually been there. Everyone deserves that voice of someone who truly understands in their corner and that’s why we’re building Wingit.
