Why IgnitionAI Exists
Helping people turn ideas into products without the technical overwhelm
The startup world is full of amazing ideas, but most founders get stuck in the technical details. Big companies have unlimited resources and technical teams, but as a founder, you're wearing every hat and trying to figure out what technology will actually work for your business. Too often, you end up with expensive consultants who don't understand your vision or prototypes that look great but never become real products.
IgnitionAI was founded to change that. Our founder brings 15+ years of experience building real products at Microsoft, Qualcomm, and ARM. We take the same proven approaches that work at massive companies and make them accessible to people with big ideas, just like you.
Here's what makes us different: we bring the same level of expertise and rigor that powers products at Microsoft, Qualcomm, and ARM. We don't just give generic advice - we provide practical guidance based on real experience shipping products that millions of people use. Every project is designed to help you avoid common pitfalls and make smart decisions that lead to successful products.
