In this episode of My Fame, Explained, host Larry Gilbert sits down with Nicola Gunby, co-founder of the fast-growing social networking app CLIQ—a platform built to solve the loneliness epidemic by bringing people together through shared interests and real-life community events.
Nicola opens up about her journey from feeling isolated after moving to London post-pandemic, to launching a global app that's now connecting over 100,000 users worldwide. She shares how her background as a beauty entrepreneur helped shape her career in tech, why traditional social media falls short when it comes to real connection, and what it truly means to build community in today’s digital world.
We dive into her early life in Nottingham, her transition from makeup artist to tech founder, and the personal challenges that inspired her to turn a problem into a purpose-driven startup. Plus, Nicola reveals what’s next for CLIQ in 2024 and how she’s working to reshape what it means to truly connect.
