OUR JOURNEY / ONE CHAPTER AT A TIME

YOU HELP SHAPE
WHAT COMES NEXT.

One clear mission today. Each next chapter depends on the evidence, readiness and support we build together.

FUTURE / AFTER SUPPLIER SAMPLES ARE READY

1,000 PLAYERS TEST WOLF.

Listen to real players. Understand what helps and what needs to change. Build our founding community along the way.

How this opens the next chapter

Analyse the feedback, refine prototypes with our manufacturer and test the changes. Reaching 1,000 is a research milestone; the final products must still be validated before launch.

NEXT / AFTER PRODUCT VALIDATION

WOLF LAUNCH.
500 CUSTOMERS.

Our next ambition: 500 people choose the finalised WOLF collection. Build the service, support and shared experiences that make FIRST more than a purchase.

What needs to be ready

A validated product, reliable stock, fulfilment and customer support. This is a future customer target; products are not on sale and no sales total is claimed.

FUTURE / AFTER COMMERCIAL TRACTION

FIRST ATHLETE 001.
A £25,000 AMBITION.

Work towards supporting one emerging athlete with equipment and development opportunities.

Our athlete ambition

£25,000 is a future funding target, not secured funding or an open fundraising offer. The mechanism and sponsorship programme need review before launch. EXPLORE FIRST ATHLETE

THE WIDER FIRST WORLD

MORE THAN EQUIPMENT.

Grow premium community experiences, club collaborations and future performance products. Every branch begins with people who play.

Where community fits

Our community begins with testing now. Wider events and experiences grow with the brand; dates appear only when there is a real programme to share.
