Track record
The record that earns the meeting.
Investors back operators with proof. Folio drafts a clear account of what you have built, shipped, and grown, framed around outcomes and scale, so your record does the convincing before the first call.
Founder website
A founder website that works as your fundraising and hiring narrative.
A founder website is a presence on your own domain that doubles as your fundraising and hiring narrative, not a vanity page. With Folio it holds your track record, a portfolio of the ventures you have built, and a credible bio, drafted by AI in seconds and edited by you. It is the page an investor reads before a first meeting and a candidate reads before they take your call.

What it does for you
Not a vanity page. A working asset.
Investors and senior candidates look you up before they engage. A founder website on your own domain turns that search into your strongest pitch, with the track record, ventures, and narrative that earn the next conversation.
Ventures
A portfolio of what you have built.
One page for every company, side project, and exit, in one place. Folio assembles a portfolio of your ventures so an investor or a candidate sees the full arc of your work, not a single line on a profile.
Bio
A credible founder bio, drafted fast.
A founder bio has to read as credible to a partner skimming a deal memo. Folio drafts one from your background in seconds, then hands you the editor so every claim is precise and unmistakably yours.
Fundraising
The page an investor reads first.
Before a partner takes the meeting, they search you. A founder website on your own domain is the narrative they find, so the story they read is the one you wrote, not a stale profile someone else owns.
Hiring
Why a great hire takes your call.
Early hires bet on the founder. Your site shows them the mission, the track record, and the credibility behind the role, so a strong candidate arrives already convinced you are worth the risk.
Own domain
Your name, on your own domain.
Publish to yourname.com, not a builder URL with a platform handle in it. Add two DNS records and Folio issues the TLS certificate for you. No Cloudflare account, and no monthly fee for a domain you already own.
How it works
From a paste to a live founder website in minutes.
No blank page, no CSS, no separate tools to stitch together.
01
Paste your background.
Drop a bio, a LinkedIn export, or a few lines on the ventures you have built. The AI reads it and drafts a structured founder profile in about a second.
02
Build the narrative.
Refine your track record, ventures, and bio in plain language. You approve every claim, so the fundraising and hiring story reads exactly as you want it to.
03
Publish your founder website.
Map yourname.com and go live, so the result an investor or candidate finds is the founder narrative you control, not a profile someone else owns.
04
Share before the call.
Send a single link ahead of a pitch or an interview, so the room arrives already read in on who you are and what you have built.
How it compares
Your own domain, AI drafted, investor ready.
LinkedIn rents you a profile, Carrd gives you a one-pager, and Notion leaks the workspace look. Folio gives you a founder website you own, with the narrative an investor expects.
| Capability | Folio | Carrd | Notion | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Your own custom domain | Included, free during beta | Not offered | Paid plan | Paid plan or add-on |
| AI drafts your narrative | Track record and bio in seconds | Write it yourself | Write it yourself | Write it yourself |
| Portfolio of your ventures | Assembled in one place | Flat experience list | Build it manually | Build it manually |
| Investor-ready presentation | Designed for the deal memo | Standardized profile | Generic one-pager | Reads like a workspace |
| You own the result for your name | Yes, on your own domain | Platform owns the page | Yes, on a paid plan | Yes, with a paid plan |
Competitor behavior reflects each vendor published free and paid tiers and can change. For comparison, several site builders gate a custom domain behind a paid plan, while Folio includes one during beta. Verify current terms on each vendor pricing page before you decide.

Why it matters
Investors and candidates search you before they engage.
Before a partner takes a meeting or a senior candidate replies, they look you up. What they find sets the frame for the conversation that follows. If the result is a standardized profile or a thread of scattered mentions, you are pitching uphill from the first minute. The story is being told about you, not by you.
A founder website on your own domain flips that. The page an investor or a candidate reads first is the one you wrote, with your track record, your portfolio of ventures, and a credible bio in one place. Folio drafts it with AI in seconds so you can ship it today, then hands you the editor so every claim is yours. It is the difference between hoping the search goes well and knowing it does.
FAQ
Honest answers.
What is a founder website?
A founder website is a presence on your own domain that works as your fundraising and hiring narrative rather than a vanity page. It holds your track record, a portfolio of the ventures you have built, and a credible bio, in one place you own. Folio drafts all three with AI in seconds, then hands you the editor so the story is yours.
Why do founders need their own website?
Investors and senior candidates search you before they engage, and the top result frames the conversation before it starts. A website on your own domain lets you own that result with a deliberate narrative, instead of leaving it to a standardized profile or scattered mentions. It turns the lookup into part of your pitch.
How is this different from LinkedIn, Carrd, or Notion?
LinkedIn rents you a standardized profile the platform owns, Carrd gives you a blank one-pager, and Notion reads like a shared workspace. Folio gives you a founder website on your own domain, with the track record, ventures, and bio drafted by AI and presented for an investor or a candidate rather than a generic visitor.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, and your fundraising and hiring narrative is published on it free during beta. Set two records in your registrar DNS, and on the first request Folio provisions the TLS certificate automatically. There is no Cloudflare account to create and no nameserver change, so the founder website an investor finds lives at yourname.com on a domain you own.
Is it really useful for fundraising and hiring?
Yes. The site is built to be the page an investor reads before a first meeting and a candidate reads before they take your call. It leads with your track record and ventures, framed around outcomes, so the people you are trying to convince arrive already read in on who you are and what you have built.
What does the AI write, and do I stay in control?
The AI reads what you paste and drafts the structure: your track record, your portfolio of ventures, and a credible founder bio. Every claim is yours to review and revise, and nothing goes live or gets shared until you say so. Treat it as a fast first pass you own and steer, never an autopilot, so the final narrative is precise and yours.
