On the Innovators Can Laugh podcast, I chat with Loic Alix-Brown, co-founder of Flick. Flick is an all-in-one Instagram scheduling, hashtag, and analytics tool. The journey of Flick is quite interesting as the initial MVP was created in two weeks and 2 weeks later they had 200 paying customers. If you think that is impressive, wait till you hear what the platform can do from a hashtag standpoint.
