Who We Are and What We're Building
At Goodwin, we build software for companies that sell private charter flights.
Today, brokers and operators still coordinate trips through spreadsheets, email threads, and phone calls. We’re replacing that manual back-and-forth with structured, real-time workflows that make pricing, availability, and logistics fast and reliable.
The problems we solve are complex and detail-heavy. Accuracy matters because flights are high-stakes. Speed matters because clients expect answers immediately. Our goal is to turn messy operational workflows into software aviation teams trust to run their business.
Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, Goodwin is a fast-growing, distributed team across the U.S., combining aviation expertise with modern product and engineering talent.
