UPSTACK Acquires Enterprise Technology Advisory Firm The Monaco Group
UPSTACK Acquires Enterprise Technology Advisory Firm The Monaco Group

Managing Partner Joe Monaco to Join Fast-Growing Platform as Partner and Managing Director

NEW YORK, March 7, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- UPSTACK, the fastest-growing advisory platform for digital infrastructure, announced today that it acquired The Monaco Group (TMG), an independent enterprise technology advisory firm based in Boca Raton, Florida. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

As part of UPSTACK's investment, TMG's Founder and CEO Joe Monaco will join UPSTACK as Partner and Managing Director.

"The Monaco Group has.... [become] one of the country's largest and fastest-growing technology advisory firms. We're thrilled to welcome Joe and the TMG team to the UPSTACK family."

Founded in 2009, TMG helps large enterprises grow by finding, negotiating and maintaining their technology stacks, including network, cloud, communications and security solutions. As architects of technology, TMG builds and supports IT environments that meet enterprise customers' needs and budgets through strategic relationships with more than 70 technology providers.

"As a longtime telecom sales leader, Joe Monaco saw a gap in the market for providing large enterprises with unbiased advocacy and consistent support with technology sourcing and management," said UPSTACK Founder and CEO Christopher Trapp. "The Monaco Group has filled that gap, becoming one of the country's largest and fastest-growing technology advisory firms. We're thrilled to welcome Joe and the TMG team to the UPSTACK family."

Monaco built a career leading telecom sales teams, beginning as a Major Account Manager for MCI Worldcom and following with leadership roles at DeltaCom, Level 3 Communications and EarthLink. However, he noticed that customers could fall into a "black hole" of customer support following shifts in account management or corporate staffing cutbacks. In response, Monaco formed TMG to consistently engage enterprises across changing personnel and providers.

TMG's advisory-focused approach was a success in serving the specialized needs of enterprises with 1,000 to 10,000 employees. The company is a top performer and has earned many accolades, such as the fastest-growing partner for technology services distributor Intelisys from 2017 through 2020. It also became the Top New Partner for AVANT Communications in 2020. In 2022, TMG was named an Intelisys Platinum Partner, reaching $1 million in monthly recurring revenue (MRR). This year, the firm will become an Intelisys Platinum Plus Partner, surpassing $1.5 million in MRR.

With its track record of success, Monaco wasn't actively looking to sell TMG. However, with the best interests of his enterprise customers in mind, he knew it made sense to add more resources to keep pace with the company's growth. He considered adding more people to his three-person team but ultimately decided to join UPSTACK.

"The decision came down to the customer experience. By joining UPSTACK's established team of people and processes, we could continue to grow TMG while maintaining our high level of customer support," Monaco said.

"UPSTACK is well positioned in the market to deliver on customer experience. They have proven leadership and expertise from more than 25 partner acquisitions, which drives project management, implementation, account management and support. That means the TMG team can focus more on advising our enterprise customers on strategic technology investments."
