Cubicle to CEO 127. Unscalable Strategies That Actually Create Scale: How FLIK Grew to 10K+ Members In A Surprising Way
Today’s case study explores unscalable strategies that actually create scale. Now I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but we are here to talk to our guest, Michelle Kwok, about how she grew FLIK to 10,000+ members in a surprising way that didn’t require any funding.
A little introduction to Michelle if you are unfamiliar with her… she is a medical science student turned social entrepreneur who co-founded FLIK, a platform connecting female leaders and learners across the world through meaningful career experiences. FLIK was recently acquired by Rumor Avenue, so Michelle now serves as a partner at Rumor Avenue as well as a part-time Chief of Staff of FLIK, in addition to leading operations for the longevity biotech fellowship at On Deck, an organization accelerating the top founders, operators, and investors looking to revolutionize the field of longevity science. She is so impressive as she has done all of this by the age of only 23.
One of my favorite quotes that I pulled to give you the perfect preview of what you’re about to hear is “You do the things that are unscalable first in order to do things that are scalable in the future”. I won’t spoil the context surrounding that quote in the episode, but if you’re looking for scrappy ways to grow your community in non-traditional ways, without using funding or ads, this episode is for you!
