"I built Folio out of pure frustration. My own company needed documents translated regularly — contracts, briefs, commercial agreements — and every time it meant days of waiting and invoices that were impossible to justify. Four days and €400 for two pages. I couldn't find a tool that was fast, accurate, and priced for a business that wasn't a multinational with an agency retainer, so I built one myself. The moment it worked, it was obvious this wasn't just a problem I had — it's a problem every small and mid-sized business with international dealings has, and nobody was solving it properly."
