Growth support for ecommerce brands
Operational muscle for brands finding their wings.
Emerging Bee places trained, vetted specialists inside growing ecommerce businesses.
Built for founders still doing it all themselves
Most ecommerce founders reach a point where the store is growing faster than they can run it — orders, listings, DMs, and admin all competing for the same few hours. Emerging Bee exists for that exact moment: a hive of specialists who already know the tools and workflows of ecommerce, ready to take over the operations that shouldn't be sitting on a founder's plate anymore.
What our hive does
You're the bee. Our hive is built around you. One Founder Support Keeper handles your store, content, inbox and stock, so a single hire covers what would otherwise take several assistants. When you need deeper expertise, we bring in specialist talent on top.
Founder Support
Store Manager, Social Media Manager, Executive Assistant and Inventory Manager. Your storefront, content and community, plus your inbox, scheduling, travel, orders and stock.
Specialist Talent Standalone or add-on
Project managers, bookkeepers and web developers, for one deep skill.

We built this for the stage you're in right now: past the one-person-show, not yet ready for a full in-house team.
One Keeper, the whole picture
Your Founder Support Keeper sees your store, content, inbox and stock together, so nothing falls between handoffs and you only brief one person.
Fluent in your stack
Your Keepers already know the tools your brand runs on, before day one.

Started by three friends with a vision
Emerging Bee began as a conversation between three friends who kept watching the same problem play out: ecommerce brands growing faster than their founders could keep up with. We built the hive we wished existed.
Gian Fernandez
Co-Founder
Before Emerging Bee, Gian spent 5 years in IT and people management — the kind of work that teaches you fast that a business runs on its people and its systems, not just its numbers. Now he's the one keeping the hive's finances and vendor contracts in order: the brain behind the operation, making sure everything adds up so the rest of the team can focus on the work.
Gayle Nebrija
Co-Founder
Nine years deep in IT before she ever thought about bees. Gayle cut her teeth in software development, then found her real calling in learning and capability development — teaching people, not just systems, how to grow. At Emerging Bee, she brings that same instinct for smoothing over the messy parts — making sure every Keeper lands where they can actually do their best work.
Nikki Alfaro
Co-Founder
Five years deep in the VA world before co-founding Emerging Bee, with a background in learning and capability development to match. Nikki's the one keeping the day-to-day running — making sure the hive actually moves the way it's supposed to, every single day.
