From 0 to 200 hotel clients in less than 1 year
Folio’s client base mushroomed when their pilot customer rolled them out across their portfolio for select purchasing needs. In less than a year, Folio developed its product, which serves hundreds of hotel clients, and hired a technical team thanks to thoughtbot’s partnership.
One year later, Folio went on to raise a 14ドルM Series A to power profitability in hospitality.
thoughtbot was the one partner that really spoke to building the right MVP and walked us through their hand-off process. That gave us confidence that we could have flexibility until we were able to hire the right people.
