The MonarchGSA Story




MonarchGSA started with a simple question over a couple of beers:
​
"Why is the business world flooded with overpaid yes-men while real experts sit on the sidelines?"
​
Tech, biotech, natural sciences, and pharma have figured it out—turn academic firepower into economic gold.
But when it comes to global risk, strategy, and geopolitical insights? The smartest minds in academia, government, international affairs, and political economy are underutilized in the private sector, while consulting firms slap a premium on junior MBAs delivering recycled PowerPoints.
​​
Startups & SMEs can't access help.
​
Today, SMEs make up 99 % of businesses in OECD countries and underpin job creation and innovation, yet they remain underserved by traditional advisory models.
Despite their pivotal role, 68 % of SMEs face persistent growth and demand challenges, and 75 % express a need for consulting and mentoring—but find few firms willing to tailor services to their scale and budgets.
​
The consulting industry is broken.
​
The consulting industry often defaults to generic, one-size-fits-all frameworks, designed for the largest corporations and delivered by junior teams, reserving its most senior talent for their most elite clients.
At the same time, experienced professionals—former diplomats, policy experts, and intelligence analysts—are eager to apply their skills to high-impact projects but lack clear channels into the private sector.
These disconnects leave startups and SMEs exposed to geopolitical volatility—trade wars, regulatory shifts, sanctions regimes, and security risks—without the insight needed to navigate them safely.
​
That’s where MonarchGSA comes in.
​
We deliver untapped global expertise to the businesses that need real support—reducing global risk exposure and revealing strategic opportunities.
​
Because we’re built for agile teams, not bureaucratic behemoths, we offer executive-grade insights without Fortune 500 fees—ensuring startups and SMEs gain the same strategic edge usually reserved for large enterprises.
By tapping into academia’s best minds and government’s seasoned operators, MonarchGSA reduces global risk exposure and accelerates growth for the companies that need it most.
Real Experts. Real Insights. Real Impact.
