Traction started with a simple observation: the tools CS teams are using were never designed for CS. We’re here to change that.
Our story
The problem was hiding in plain sight
“CS teams are doing the most relationship-intensive work in a company — and the tools they have are designed for salespeople.”
Traction’s founder Sebastian Kade noticed Customer Success Managers lose hours every day to tasks that had nothing to do with their customers. Back-to-back meetings, then more time updating CRMs, chasing feedback, writing follow-ups, and digging through transcripts to find what was actually said six weeks ago.
The deeper problem wasn’t just admin overhead. It was that even the most diligent CSM, managing a book of 40 or 50 accounts, physically cannot give each one the attention it needs. Something always slips. Risks go unspotted. Expansion opportunities get missed. Not because the CSM doesn’t care—but because there are only so many hours in a week.
Traction was built to fix that. Not with another dashboard to check, or another tool to maintain, but with an AI layer that works alongside your team—preparing for every call, handling the admin after it, and watching your whole book around the clock.

What we’re building
CS teams deserve a platform built for the AI era
Most CS platforms were built in a different era, when the job was about logging activity and generating reports for leadership. That era is over. The job today is about relationships, coverage, and retention—at a scale no single team can manage manually.
Our mission is straightforward: give every CS team the reach and consistency of a team twice their size, without the headcount to match. Every account gets real attention. No customer slips through because a CSM was stretched too thin. No risk sits unnoticed because nobody had time to look.
We're building an AI that acts like a genuine member of your team—one that never clocks off, never forgets context, and always has your back between meetings.

How we work
Four things we take seriously
Clarity is king
We built Traction because critical information kept dying in silos. We hold the same standard internally. Decisions get written down, feedback is direct, and “I think we’re aligned” doesn’t count as aligned.

Fail forwards
We didn’t get the product right on the first try. We’re still not done getting it right. What we’ve learned is that a working thing you can learn from beats a perfect thing you're still planning. We ship early and talk to customers immediately.

Accountability is respect
Keeping your word to teammates is the same as keeping it to customers: it's the basic unit of trust that makes everything else work. When something goes wrong, the question isn’t who to blame—it’s what broke and how to fix it.

Lead with compassion
The problems we’re solving are real, and the people dealing with them are human. That's why we bring genuine curiosity and care to every customer interaction—and to each other.
