Monarch Designers began in 2019 not as a grand vision, but as a humble cyber café in Mwiki. We offered basic digital services, but through daily interactions with our community—listening to entrepreneurs, students, and creatives—we saw a recurring pattern: immense local talent struggling against a gap in digital access and opportunity. This wasn't just a business problem; it was a community problem. That realization changed everything.
Our on-the-ground experience revealed the stark reality of peri-urban life in Africa.
The gap isn't a problem; it's the blueprint for a revolution. By focusing on peri-urban towns, we can build the future from the ground up by transforming them into smart, self-sustaining micro-cities. Our model taps into three converging, high-growth markets.
The global market is set to more than double, reaching $196B by 2030. Our hubs serve as the last-mile deployment points for this infrastructure. [14]
