At Emerging Humanity, we see entrepreneurship as a catalyst for business activity, economic development, and prosperity in communities all over the world. Our mission is simple: help early-stage entrepreneurs build impactful products, achieve sustainable growth, and create meaningful outcomes for their customers.
We provide fractional CPO services that help Series A startups scale effectively through product strategy, PLG (Product-Led Growth), and optimized product operations.
For a company to grow big, its business goals get to align with society's goals. The new playbook is to pursue success based on vision and our universal human values.
At the same time, a company cannot grow big if its founders think small. Overcoming personal limitations is necessary in order to lead successfully in the ever-changing business environment.
My journey began as a technology solutions consultant, working with small businesses and founders to develop both internal and customer-facing products and services. I found immense satisfaction in the creative side of the work, contributing to the success of early-stage startups and their products. I was good at what I did, and I loved it
As my experience grew, I started to see the bigger picture. It became clear that while many founders had the vision and the passion to succeed, the execution didn't always meet expectations. I noticed that the product strategy did not align with scalable growth, and product operations often fell short, leading to growth stagnation and missed opportunities.
Most founders are driven by a desire to bring something good to the market and create lasting value for their customers. But the day-to-day demands often pull them off course.
Their vision gets diluted, and they struggle to align their product strategy with their long-term goals. Product growth stalls, product operations become inefficient, and the company drifts further away from the vision it set out to achieve.
This is where I knew I could make a difference.
I saw many founders of Series A startups relying on trial and error to solve challenges that I had already faced and solved in my own career. I realized that by guiding them through these issues, they could avoid costly and time-consuming mistakes, helping them reach their goals more quickly and efficiently.
But the path to success isn't always straightforward. Startups face a unique set of challenges, with numerous moving parts to coordinate. I drew upon my extensive experience and the lessons learned from overcoming challenges to develop a methodology that took the big-picture vision and translated it into actionable steps for day-to-day success.
Through testing, adjusting, and refining, this methodology became a powerful tool for founders. It allowed them to stay on track, prioritize effectively, and scale their business without getting bogged down in endless iterations of trial and error.
What began as a passion project has now evolved into a thriving business. The methodology I developed resonates deeply with founders, offering them a clear path forward. It helps them clarify their vision, identify their objectives, and break them down into actionable steps they can feel confident about.
This framework serves as a compass that keeps them aligned with their higher purpose, ensuring that the company's activities stay tethered to its original mission.
