The 12-Week Side Projects Growth Stack Accelerator for coders, makers, and builders who want to turn side projects into motion, feedback, and velocity — powered by loops and automation.
No marketing fluff. Just systems, experiments, and velocity — the builder way.
Code alone doesn't create velocity. Side projects lose momentum because motion fades without systems, feedback loops, and visibility. Most builders focus on perfecting their product in isolation — but traction requires connection, signals, and sustained action beyond the code.

Build traction
Hi, I'm Shashank Rajurkar, founder of TractionMate and Startup-Side, and creator of the Co-Build Sprint.
I work with coders and founders who've built something solid but can't see it moving. Together, we debug motion — simplifying systems, speeding learning, and turning quiet projects into visible traction.
You'll work directly with me for all 12 weeks — no coaches, no assistants — just builders, building together.
Join the
12-Week Side Projects Growth Stack Accelerator
—
and build the systems, loops, and velocity your project deserves.
Your Code + Growth Stack = Traction
