Meet Our Magical Guest
Josie Piper, Founder of Fickl App
At the heart of Fickl App is the 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.
