  • Why We Built Foleo

    Starting out is harder than ever

    Landing that first job or internship isn’t easy. If you’re early in your career, you’re competing with hundreds of other applicants, many with more experience. On top of that, the job market is shifting quickly with new technologies, changing hiring practices, and fewer opportunities in some fields. It’s tough to stand out when all you have is a resume and a LinkedIn profile.

    The truth is, employers want to see more than just a list of jobs or classes. They want to see what you can actually do. That’s where a strong portfolio comes in.

    Why portfolios matter

    A portfolio gives you the chance to tell your story. It’s a place to show off your projects, your problem-solving skills, and even the way you think. Unlike a resume, which often looks the same as everyone else’s, a portfolio is personal. It shows employers the real you.

    The problem? Building one is hard. If you try to code it yourself, it can take forever and still not look polished. If you use a generic website builder, it’s easy to end up with something that doesn’t really highlight your work. A lot of people get stuck here and never actually publish their portfolio.

    Why we created Foleo

    We built Foleo to fix that problem. We wanted a simple way to create a professional portfolio without needing to design or code. With Foleo, you can turn your projects, skills, and experience into a clean, modern portfolio in just a few minutes. No design degree required. No endless tinkering. Just your work, presented in the best possible light.

    How it works

    1. Upload your resume — Foleo pulls in your key details and sets the foundation.
    2. Add project showcases — mix in media: images, videos, code snippets, writing samples, and more.
    3. Customize (optional) — tweak colors or layout (Plus version coming soon).
    4. Publish and share — get your link, drop it in all your applications, and let your work speak.
