App Launching Fall 2026 — Canada & U.S.
Where footballers ready for the next level get a fair look.
A discovery platform for players pursuing college, university, semi-pro, and pro pathways across North America — powered by a simple swipe-based experience.
Players upload their clips. Verified scouts, coaches, agents review and express interest when a player catches their eye. If there is mutual interest, both sides connect directly.
The problem
Too many good players go unseen.
The solution
We give you a real chance to be seen.
Our values
What we actually stand for.
Fairness.
Every upload gets the same shot. No rankings, no paid boosts, no algorithmic advantage.
Affordability.
We are built with low-cost access in mind for players. So it's one simple price — no tiers, no upsells, no surprises.
Simplicity.
Built to be easy — for players uploading and those browsing. No extra layers or distractions.
FirstLook commits 5% of every subscription to supporting youth soccer accessibility initiatives.
Built for players.
Many players are working with limited resources — and getting noticed comes down to a lot of work, luck, and access.
Players are looking for exposure. Scouts, coaches, and agents are looking for emerging talent. FirstLook creates a simple, fair, and affordable way to connect the two — lowering the barriers that often stand in the way.
If an opportunity comes from a connection here, we step back — no cuts, no commissions. What happens next is up to you.
What's different here?
A lot of platforms are overpriced, complex, or built on big promises. We're not.

How it works
Four steps from upload to conversation.
- Step 1
Create your profile
Verify your email, choose your role, and add the details that matter.
- Step 2
Upload your reels
Two reels, up to two minutes each. One reel could feature your top highlights — the other, clips showcasing your specific abilities.
- Step 3
Get discovered
Verified non-players browse a randomized feed at their own pace and swipe when a player catches their attention.
- Step 4
Match and connect
A short, focused window. Enough to determine if there's something real before continuing the conversation off-platform.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is this for me?
Absolutely!
FirstLook is designed for ambitious players of various ages, levels, and stages of their journey.
Whether you're a younger player looking to build visibility early, a club player preparing for varsity, or a player actively pursuing semi-pro and pro levels, there is a place for you on the platform.
How is this different from current methods of getting noticed?
Most players spend years trying to get noticed — sending highlight reels, emailing coaches, attending showcases, and posting clips online without knowing if the right people are actually watching.
Platforms typically have you upload and wait, with no clear path to being seen.
With FirstLook, your clips are actively shown through a swipe-based feed — with coaches, scouts, and clubs actually on the platform reviewing players in real time.
What should I upload?
Creating polished highlight reels is easier than ever — so it's worth putting your best foot forward.
Some want to see your top moments. Others want to see your specific abilities — hold-up play, set pieces, long throw-ins, positional awareness, aerial ability, etc.
A mix is usually your best bet. Ultimately, upload what best represents your game.
Who's looking?
They range from college and university programs to semi-pro and pro clubs across Canada and the U.S.
You'll find coaches, scouts, agents, and staff across different levels — all actively looking for players.
A list is available within the app. Some choose to remain more private — but if you match, you'll know who they are.
How are uploads shown to those looking?
Each reel is presented individually.
That means even if one reel is passed on, your other reels still have their own opportunity to be seen.
There are no rankings, boosts, or preferential placement — uploads are shown in a randomized feed.
What if I don't get any matches?
Some players get attention quickly, while others may take more time — and some may not receive matches at all.
If that's the case, you can keep improving your profile, your highlights, and your game — and stay visible as new eyes join the platform.
One person is all it takes.
How much does it cost?
A simple monthly subscription gives you access to become part of the platform — create a profile, upload reels, and connect with matches.
While final pricing is still to be determined, the platform is intentionally designed to remain low-cost and accessible — likely around the cost of a coffee per month.
Additional reels can also be uploaded for a small one-time fee.
Are there ads on the app?
None!
