In the most recent episode of GrantTalk, Libby Hikind, founder and CEO of GrantWatch and author of The Queen of Grants, sat down with Jason Hill, a close friend and the founder of the innovative app, OWWLL. Jason, who originally coined Libby’s title, “The Queen of Grants,” shared the story behind OWWLL, a unique networking app designed for professionals, nonprofits, and businesses looking to connect through real-time conversations.
OWWLL: Connecting with Experts
More than a networking tool, OWWLL provides a way for professionals to quick consultations or mentorship. Libby highlighted how OWWLL helps her connect with people seeking her expertise in grant writing. The app enables users to list themselves, set a rate, and engage in brief but meaningful exchanges. This helps professionals like Libby offer advice on demand. As she explains, “Every time I turn on OWWLL, I’m connecting with people who truly value my guidance.”
OWWLL, Cassandra, and the Ripple Effect
Jason created OWWLL to bridge the communication gap left by text-heavy networking platforms like LinkedIn. With fewer people making direct calls, the quality of professional relationships is at risk. This is something he set out to change with OWWLL’s on-demand, voice-based platform. During the interview, Libby and Jason even gave a live demonstration of OWWLL’s features, showcasing its potential to build and cultivate connections that go beyond traditional digital interactions.
Cassandra, a prominent user on the platform shared her journey with OWWLL. It has become far more than an app for. “OWWLL is a game changer,” she said, explaining how it supports entrepreneurs like her by providing a space for growth, learning, and building meaningful professional relationships.
The Ripple Effect of a Single Connection
Reflecting on the impact of a single connection, Libby and Jason emphasized the ripple effect. A simple conversation can lead to someone buying a resource, securing funding, and helping countless others through their mission.
Libby summed it up best. She highlighted the unique role OWWLL plays in eliminating the isolation CEOs and founders often feel. It allows professionals to connect, share advice, and foster genuine relationships. For those passionate about their work and driven to make a difference, OWWLL stands as an effective tool to advance their goals and multiply their impact.
Mentorship Mondays and Tech Tuesdays
To further support their community, OWWLL introduced “Mentorship Mondays.” Every Monday, individuals can connect with mentors at a significantly reduced rate—just $1! This initiative encourages knowledge sharing among experienced professionals and those looking to learn. It’s remarkable to see how this approach fosters a sense of belonging, allowing participants to feel part of a larger movement. People appreciate the opportunity to interact with mentors who usually charge higher fees.
OWWLL also launched “Tech Tuesdays” in partnership with the South Florida Tech Hub. This initiative connects individuals across the US with tech professionals. Participants can seek advice and collaborate on various tech-related challenges, from podcasting equipment to website development. The emphasis on networking rather than mere advice-seeking has led to genuine collaborations.
Reviews and Feedback
Feedback plays an important role in the OWWLL community. Users are encouraged to leave reviews after each interaction. This accountability ensures that everyone is engaged and helps build credibility within the platform. The reviews serve as testimonials. They highlight the positive experiences users have had and can be repurposed to enhance visibility for those offering services.
Leveraging Connections for Growth
To conclude, if you’re starting a nonprofit or looking to expand your network, OWWLL is an invaluable resource. Don’t hesitate to reach out for guidance, whether it’s about grant applications or partnership opportunities. By connecting with others in your field, you can enhance your organization’s capabilities and reach your goals!
