The Opportunity

Many start-ups and spin-outs have great ideas, but often lack the experience to convert these into profitable businesses.

Adding the required experience on a full-time basis is expensive and risky.

By working with First 5, a start-up can tap into a wealth or relevant experience on a flexible and cost effective basis.
