Flikshop

Marcus Bullock turned prison into Flikshop, hustling into 2,700+ prison systems

Marcus Bullock, a former inmate (armed carjacking, tried as an adult), built Flikshop - an app that turns a photo and text into a physical postcard mailed to inmates - and personally pitched wardens to get it into over 2,700 prison systems.

“you basically do whatever you do with Twitter or Facebook You click on an image and you send it, but instead of sending an image between phones, you are sending it to Flikshop and they're going to write a postcard for you with the image and the text. And what's amazing about the story is the hustle involved for him to get into like over 2,700 prison systems in America. He was like meeting these wardens and administrators like in person, trying to convince them that they should allow Flikshop.”
