Folio offers letters that satisfy CPT/OPT requirements. Once you are accepted into a Venture Cohort, we will reach out with further details regarding your particular CPT/OPT letter. Folio.works is e-verified, and we are willing to help you with any forms your specific school might require to process your CPT/OPT status.
If you’re on a Stem OPT Extension, please get in touch with us at .
Folio CANNOT sponsor H1-B visas or guarantee that the startups we work with will sponsor them.
While we can guarantee several options for your internship (all companies will be venture-backed startups), we cannot assure you that you will receive a full-time offer. That will have to be a discussion you have with the founders before the internship starts, ongoing during your project, and afterward.

As an intern, you'll prove your skills by working on meaningful projects and gaining a network of peers and professionals excited to support your life-long career journey. Many of our interns have received paid part-time or full-time offers after their internships.
We are committed to helping our interns find success throughout their internships. Please refer to the chart below for instructions on who to reach out to in each situation.
This is decided between you and your host company during the interview process. Many internships last around 2-3 months, but other companies may be looking for part time support with fewer hours over a longer period.
Yes, we have many international student interns! Folio will provide an offer letter to interns who find internships. Students can use this offer letter to attain CPT or OPT approval from their university or college.
