Dear /lit/, please help a Dutchbro find the right proverb. I will have to give a presentation about a social enterprise and I want to express that they are the very first ones to take the leap. How would a native speaker express that with an official proverb?
In my language, we would say "when the first sheep crosses the "dam" (passage/small bridge), the rest will follow.
Pic unrelated to the question, only related to the wicket Dutch society.

Thanks for replying, it's a 9/10
Do you perhaps know of something similar, which relates to others following?

you snooze you lose
I'm trying to think if we have a proverb for that. We sometimes say someone is 'blazing a trail' but that doesn't really carry a connotation of "others will follow and you will be rewarded."
