The Human Infrastructure Behind Growth, Innovation,  and Leadership

Who We Are

Traction5 is a software platform built for organizations that run team-based mentorship programs.

We work with accelerators, universities, venture studios, and innovation programs that believe founders grow faster when supported by a committed mentor team, not just one-off advice

What We Do

Team mentorship works — but it’s hard to run.

Coordinating founders and multiple mentors means juggling calendars, emails, spreadsheets, notes, and follow-ups. As programs grow, the administrative burden often becomes the bottleneck.

Traction5 was built to remove that friction.

Our platform helps programs:

  • Schedule mentor teams without endless back-and-forth

  • Track meetings, progress, and outcomes clearly

  • Reduce administrative overhead for program managers

  • Support a consistent, high-touch mentorship experience at scale

Our goal isn’t to automate mentorship.
It’s to protect the human part — while making programs easier to run.

Today, Traction5 supports programs across the United States and Iceland.
