The challenge

Folk is a start-up from the Hexa start-up studio, financed by Accel. Folk rethinks contact management and develops a new-generation CRM: the tool can be configured in a matter of seconds to meet any business need.

The client was looking for a freelancer or freelancers to develop a Chrome extension that would allow users to add contacts to their Folk account from a LinkedIn search by importing them into a proprietary API.

We chose to collaborate with a collective, to benefit from good velocity and more flexible availability for maintenance and upgrades.

The solution

We introduced Folk to the Innovalabs collective, a team of experts in mobile and fullstack web development. Within the collective, Louis-Rémi, a seasoned CTO-level developer (10 years' experience in fullstack JS development and lead-development in a startup), worked on the project, with technical support from the rest of the team.

The impact

The initial one-month mission was extended several times, as the cooperation between Folk and the collective was so fruitful. Subsequent phases helped to evolve the extension, add functionality and strengthen API integrations.
