What is a fractional product manager?

A fractional product manager is an experienced PM who works with your company part-time or on a retainer basis, giving you senior product leadership without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. At Velonova, that means strategy, roadmapping, UX research, and execution embedded into your team.

How much does a fractional product manager cost?

Velonova's fractional product leadership starts at $4,000/month. This covers full product strategy and roadmap ownership, weekly sprints, UX research, user interviews, PRDs, and stakeholder alignment. PM coaching packages start from $700.

Velonova works with SaaS companies and startup teams that need senior product leadership but aren't ready for, or don't need, a full-time PM hire. Engagements range from early-stage startups to scaling B2B and B2C products.

What does a Velonova engagement look like?

Engagements follow three phases: Diagnose (UX audit, KPI review, user research), Prioritize (roadmap, specs, trade-offs), and Deliver (PRDs, execution, outcomes). Structured enough to scale, flexible enough to fit your team's reality.

Does Velonova work remotely?

Yes. Velonova works remotely with companies worldwide. Tanya Rofman is based in Tel Aviv, Israel, and has worked with teams across Europe, the US, and Israel.

Can Velonova help with UX research and user interviews?

Yes. UX research and user interview facilitation are a core part of the fractional PM engagement, including research planning, interview guides, synthesis, and translating findings into product decisions.

Does Velonova build websites or digital products?

Yes, through two offerings: story-driven websites starting at $3,500 (built with Lovable and Claude Code), and AI systems and custom builds through Golden Seam, a studio with a product strategist, senior designer, and fullstack developer, for $15,000 to $150,000.

Can Velonova implement AI in companies with legacy systems?

Yes. Through the Golden Seam studio, Velonova builds the missing layer on top of old systems: real-time dashboards and alerts that show where the business is losing money, custom portals, and admin tools. Projects range from $15,000 to $150,000.

What does Velonova's tailor-made mentorship include?

Velonova's mentorship is not a course. It's a program built around you: your experience, your personality, your actual challenge. Options include a 4-session package at $700 or a 10-session package at $1,575. Topics include roadmapping, stakeholder management, and career strategy, for product managers and tech people.

Years in Product Management

Hi, I'm

Tanya Rofman

I turn tech chaos into products people love.

20 years across tech, finance, SaaS, B2B, B2C, small startups and big organizations, 12 building products, 8 deep in finance. If people use it, I've probably broken it and fixed it. That's the gap I close: where the product stops making sense fast enough.

Think clearly.
Move faster.
Build better.

Her expertise helped us establish essential product processes, streamline workflows, and align with best practices. Her ability to simplify complex concepts and tailor advice to our needs was invaluable. We saw significant improvements in our product development and customer outcomes.
