Folio (folio.works) is a genuine EdTech project aiming to bridge the gap between education and employment via guaranteed internships and AI skills training. While the mission to create '15 million internships' is ambitious and the project has verifiable partnerships (e.g., Shorelight) and a presence on platforms like HackerNoon, the submission itself suffers from significant quality issues. Claims such as 'most people have used my product' and 'audience reach: everyone' are factually incorrect and exaggerated for a team of 2-10 people launched in 2023. The business model appears to be a paid training/placement program (~$2000), which limits utility compared to free open marketplaces but offers high value to specific users.
