How It Works

Submit your metrics. Get ranked. Earn credibility.

01

Submit Your Traction

Report your core metric (MRR, GMV, users, transactions) for the last 3 months. Upload a screenshot for proof. Done in under 5 minutes.

02

Get Ranked by Growth

Your MoM growth percentage determines your rank. No editorial bias. No pay-to-win. Pure traction decides who leads the board.

03

Earn Your Verified Badge

$9/month gets you a verified badge that signals trust to investors, partners, and customers. Scarcity builds credibility.

Share Your Rank Card

Auto-generated social cards with your rank, growth rate, and badge. One click to LinkedIn or X. Every share is a credibility signal.

Tell Your Traction Story

A 2-3 sentence narrative on your profile. Numbers tell part of the story. Your words tell the rest. Investors read both.

Micro-Leaderboards

Top 5 Fintech in Nigeria. Fastest growing AgriTech under $10K MRR. Niche rankings that put the right startups in front of the right people.

Every rank is a shareable billboard.

Auto-generated social cards that founders actually want to share. Your rank, your growth, your verified badge. One image that tells investors everything they need to know.

LinkedIn posts with TractionBoard cards get noticed because they carry data, not promises. That's the difference between a pitch and proof.

Traction is the only
currency that doesn't lie.

TractionBoard is building the credibility layer African startups deserve. Data-driven rankings for a continent that's tired of hype.
