In today’s episode I talk to Zoë Desmond, founder of Frolo, the first single parent community app. Frolo transforms and empowers the single parent experience by providing easily accessible connection and support. It makes it easy to discover and connect with like minded single parents living in the same area as well as giving access to a wider global community. Along with the support of fellow frolos, the app provides valuable content and advice from specialists such as family lawyers, child psychologists and relationship experts.
Frolo has already achieved great success and has featured in publications such as the Guardian, Grazia, Sky News, The Evening Standard and many more.
Zoë is an amazing founder and built the app after her own experience as a single parent. 1 in 4 families are single parent families in the UK and we talk through some of the difficulties that single parents face and why there is such a need for a community and platform like this.
Like many entrepreneurs, Zoe does not come from a technology background and so we discuss how you go about building an app without this base knowledge. We cover the highs and lows of using agencies, the importance of marketing and PR as well as taking a community from social media and converting it to users on another platform.
It’s a fantastic story and well worth a listen!
