Meet our Founder
At the heart of Fickl App is our founder, Josie, whose origin story has profoundly influenced her dedication to supporting micro-enterprises. Growing up in a small local business built by her mother, Josie witnessed first-hand the incredible passion and hard work that goes into running a micro-enterprise. From organizing tax receipts to hand-delivering flyers across her hometown, her early exposure to this entrepreneurial, "get-stuck-in" spirit left a lasting impression, instilling in her a deep love and appreciation for these small businesses that bring so much character and value to their communities.
With the support of her husband, friends and family, Josie has been able to build Fickl from the ground up since early 2021.
A Journey to Support Micro Enterprises
As Josie's career in marketing progressed, she found herself working in larger marketing teams, gaining valuable experience and honing her skills. However, she recognized micro-enterprise constraints in the competitive market during this time. These small businesses often struggle to compete with larger companies with more significant resources, hindering their growth and potential.
Fueling a Vision for Impact
With a strong desire to create a positive impact and support the backbone of local communities, Josie envisioned Fickl App—a marketing management software designed exclusively for micro-enterprises. Her goal was clear: to empower these small businesses with the tools they need to effectively navigate the digital landscape, expand their reach, and thrive amidst larger competitors.
Growing the Team
After founding the company in 2021, the team grew over time. Today, our small but dedicated team includes Phoebe, our exceptional software engineer, and Rebeca, our budding marketing guru. We bring Fickl App to life, combining technical finesse, creative storytelling, and unwavering dedication to provide micro-enterprises with user-friendly marketing tools that level the playing field, foster growth, and create more robust, more vibrant communities. We believe in making a difference, one micro-enterprise at a time, and our passion and purpose drive us every step of the way.
The Power of Fickl App
Fickl App is more than just a software platform; it is a testament to our teams’ passion for uplifting micro-enterprises. The software provides entrepreneurs user-friendly marketing tools, offering them the competitive advantage they deserve. From building engaging social media campaigns to analyzing data for strategic decision-making, our platform equips micro-enterprises to level the playing field and succeed in their journey.
A Ripple Effect of Growth
Josie's vision extends beyond individual businesses; she envisions a ripple effect of growth that emanates from thriving micro-enterprises. As these small businesses flourish, they positively impact their communities by generating employment, fostering economic growth, and fostering a sense of community pride.
We invite entrepreneurs to join our growing community at Fickl App. Together, we can elevate their businesses’ impact, transform local communities, and create a brighter future for all.
