Stop Guessing.
Start Shipping the Right Thing.
Intelligent Ignition delivers on-demand product management expertise — so your team builds with confidence, ships on time, and grows without hiring a $200K to $300K executive.
Trusted by pre-seed founders, scaling startups, and Series A/B product teams.
Which of these sounds like you?
You're building but not sure it's the right thing.
Your roadmap is driven by gut instinct — not validated assumptions or real user data.
Your engineers are blocked or building blind.
Sprints are chaotic, tickets are vague, and deadlines keep slipping.
You've outgrown "founder as PM."
You have a team, paying customers, and real complexity — but no senior product leader to own the strategy.
Whatever stage you're in, we have a plan built for it.
Expert product management, delivered as a service.

Quick answers.
What is PMaaS?
Product Management as a Service (PMaaS) is a subscription-based model where an experienced product management team handles the strategy, process, and execution work that keeps your product moving — without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Is PMaaS software?
No. Intelligent Ignition is a team of experienced product practitioners, not a tool or platform. We work inside your existing stack and deliver real work, real documentation, and real strategy every month.
How do I know which plan is right for me?
It comes down to your stage and your current PM setup. If you're pre-seed with no PM and still searching for product-market fit, start with Spark ($1,900/mo). If you have paying customers and a junior PM but inconsistent growth, Ignite ($5,600/mo) is built for you. If you're Series A or B with a PM team that needs leadership, Blaze is the right fit.
