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.
