Operators who ran the trucks. Architects who modernized the industry. Innovators building what’s next.

01 The team

Operators.
Innovators.
Architects.

The team behind IgniteIQ is back at it to revolutionize home services in the AI economy. Owners, operators, and the architects who built the billion-dollar platform the industry runs on today, are building for a new future that will change the home services landscape forever.

Go To Market

Turns a signed contract into a live intelligence engine in days.

Owns the deployment motion and the customer experience from kickoff through compounding production use. The reason go-live is measured in days, not months.

Marketing

Builds the product surface operators actually live in.

Shapes the Armory dashboards, the agent workflows, and the ontology authoring tools — translating how operators run their business into an interface that runs on top of the framework.

02 We’re not an AI company

We’re not an AI company. We are the foundation AI runs on.

We’re not here to sell you a new flashy tool. We build the infrastructure that makes your systems, tools, agents, automations, and AI actually work. allowing you to build for the future.

03 The founding story

We've been on every side of this problem.

Our founder ran an electrical and HVAC company. He built and exited the largest independent customer acquisition agency in the trades. He’s sat in the truck, on the dispatch board, and across the table from operators trying to make sense of seven systems that don’t talk to each other.

Two of our senior engineering leaders helped build ServiceTitan from the inside — one as Executive Architect across every API, one as VP of Engineering. They know home services data at the schema level better than almost anyone in the industry.

We started IgniteIQ because the answer wasn’t another app or another dashboard. The answer was a structured model of the business — owned by the operator, deployed in their cloud, and built specifically for the trades. That’s the foundation. Everything we ship sits on top of it.

04 What we believe

Three things we believe about the next decade of home services.

01

Your data is yours.

It lives in your cloud. The vendor that won’t agree to that is renting you back your own business.

02

Intelligence compounds.

Every week the system gets sharper. Every decision gets faster. The operators who build on solid foundations outlast every cycle of new tools.

03

Infrastructure beats interface.

Dashboards are wallpaper. Foundations are leverage. The companies that win this decade will be the ones that built the foundation, not the ones that licensed the dashboard, a workflow, or an automation.
