"I've been staked for three years and tracking everything in a Google Sheet was a nightmare. Traction replaced all of that in a week. My backers actually understand their exposure now."

"As a backer I used to just wire money and hope for updates. Now I can see chip counts, deal terms, and balances all in one place. It's transformed how I think about poker as an investment."

Sarah Reeves

"Settlements used to cause so much friction — people had different numbers, different memories. Traction killed that problem entirely. Everything is automatic, timestamped, and nobody argues anymore."
