A few things to know

Good questions.

What’s the difference between a Connector and a Founding Operator?

A Connector introduces us to businesses they know. We run the sale and onboarding, and the Connector earns a fee when that business goes live. A Founding Operator is a business with its own space that puts FirstMove to work there, as one of the first venues in its city.

Is being a Connector a job?

No. Connectors work with us as a business, under an Activator agreement. That’s why Connectors apply as a company or sole trader, not as an individual.

Who can apply as a Founding Operator?

A business with a space of its own, such as a venue, hospitality group, event organisation or community space. Whoever applies needs authority to discuss using FirstMove on behalf of that organisation.

Can I apply from anywhere?

Yes. If your city isn’t listed, choose “Other” and tell us where you’re based. Founding Operators should also give their UK postcode area so we know where their venue is.

Can I apply for both roles?

Yes. Choose the role that best describes your first step, then use the notes field to tell us you’re interested in both. We’ll discuss the right fit with you.
