Just like a rocket needs a strong first stage booster to get into orbit, your innovative project needs strong technical expertise to get it off the ground. Whether you need guidance to assess the feasibility of your idea and map its requirements, help creating technical documents to get your idea funded, or a hands-on developer to create your first prototype, First Stage is there for you!
First Stage's mission is to get your innovative Web or Media-related project up and running, right from the start until you're ready to go to production, or anywhere in between. This could be in the form of consultancy, software architecture, hands-on development, project management, data modeling, ... or all of the above.
After a rocket has been brought into orbit, the first stage usually drops back to the planet below, ready for new missions to come. Similarly, when your project reaches production, you should be ready to hire your own team to keep it up and running, with First Stage's role phased out.
