About the founder

Mia, founder of Inauro

Mia

Founder, Inauro

Working as a Product Manager across early startups, scale-ups and corporates (in-house at Konfir, part of Experian, and consulting through Product People for eBay, Back Market and others) taught me how the best product teams operate: where they spend their time, what they systematise and where human judgement matters. I apply these lessons hands-on and fractionally to help early-stage startup founders stop doing product work that doesn't need them.

FAQs

It's the groundwork that good product decisions depend on: having access to data and feedback, consistent process, real alignment between product and engineering. Necessary, but none of it needs the founder's judgement (and it's eating into what does).
Yes. A mid-level PM costs on average £60k a year once you account for salary alone, without factoring in hiring, onboarding and employer costs. With Inauro, you're only paying for the days you actually need (at a cheaper rate), not a full-time role you're not ready to take on the risk of.
We charge on a per-day basis and scale things up or down as your needs change. If you need more of my time around a launch or fundraise, or less in a quiet period, we adjust. No re-hire, no notice period, no severance.
That's the goal. Inauro helps you delay your first PM hire until it actually makes sense: once you've found product-market fit and the business is ready to scale. When that time comes, your new PM inherits real context and momentum, not a blank slate, because the operational work has been running properly the whole time.

The work that keeps your business alive deserves your full attention
