About Us

Desmonde Monroe conceptualized The Monroe Accelerator as he was starting out his own MBE firm. After pivoting out of Executive roles at in government agencies and multi-million dollar firms, Desmonde looked to apply his experience working at high levels on both buyer and purchaser sides of procurement to his own dream.

He moved from a team of hundreds to start out with a team of 3, and the transition was not easy. He found that as he started out as an MBE certified firm, there were not enough resources for certified firms to teach him how to create a system nimble yet robust enough to win bids big enough to grow his firm. There were plenty of programs teaching him to get certified, but not enough information on what to do after that.

After many losses, we are proud to say that we have refined a system that really does win multi-million dollar bids and can be a resource and toolkit for any certified firm in any industry in the U.S. public sector. Firms began seeking out Desmonde to help them with their own systems and procurement processes. Then, he decided to put the course out there to help certified firms all over the U.S. The Monroe Accelerator is a blueprint of these systems.

When polled by public agencies, certified firms are asked what they need to grow. The number one response is consistently – Bigger city contracts.

The big picture for all of this is to build wealth and create jobs within our communities. To break the chains of intergenerational poverty. We are looking to overcome these barriers we are seeing each other face and to minimize them for the next generation. We are excited for certified firms to make this investment in themselves, ready themselves to go after big contracts, and make sure their systems are up to that task. The Monroe Group is here for you as you bring your firm to the next level. Together, we are stronger.
