First Backed
A small pilot helping artists secure project-based sponsorships from local businesses.
Currently operating as a limited early-stage test.
What this is
First Backed helps artists and small businesses explore one-off sponsorships tied to specific creative projects (for example: a music video, release, or performance).
This is not a marketplace, agency, or managed service.
Each collaboration is handled individually and depends on mutual interest.
Who this pilot is for
Artists:
You already have a defined project and are looking for a small number of aligned sponsors — not ongoing representation.
Businesses:
You are open to supporting a local or niche creative project in a clear, contained way — not influencer campaigns or ad placements.
How it works
-
An artist submits a specific project concept
-
A small number of relevant businesses are identified
-
If there is interest on both sides, a direct introduction is made
Pilot status
First Backed is currently running a limited pilot to validate demand and process.
Only a small number of projects are being explored during this phase.
