So, what is this?

David Allison

Founder, The Folio

It has never been harder to find a job you want to do.


In the past, talented people could find the opportunities they were looking for if they simply put in the time. There was a path: Get a degree, develop your skills, work your way up.


Now, due to perceived "efficiency gains" from modern tools like AI, companies are slamming the door on recent grads, emerging talent, and those looking to make a career pivot. And, in the rare case that they do have an opening, they inevitably require significant experience that this generation hasn't been afforded the chance to earn. It's just about impossible to break in.


That's why I built this site! Sign up, do the work, and build the sort of killer portfolio that will get you the job you're looking for. The Folio can't create the opportunity, but we can help you be prepared when you get your shot.
