    About Us

    Our Journey

    Our flagship platform,ResearchGuide, exemplifies this vision: connecting organizations in Qatar and beyond with highly vetted PhDs, researchers, and on-demand experts.

    By removing hiring hurdles and bridging the gap between talent and innovation,ResearchGuide accelerates progress and enables organizations to achieve their goals efficiently.

    📌 2012

    The Spark

    Salim El Bouanani, CEO of MONARK IT, a software development agency, identified a significant challenge: many ambitious software projects in Europe and North America demanded high-value contributions, yet it was rare to find professionals who combined both technical expertise and creative vision. Leveraging his own experience as a PhD and collaborating with other PhD consultants and experienced engineers, he set out to bridge this gap.

    📌 2012–2020

    The Growth

    MONARK IT established robust processes and built a strong network of experts to meet this demand. Over these years, a seed was planted — growing into a trusted network of European and North American partnerships, founded on technical excellence, geographical proximity, and an unmatched quality-to-cost ratio.

    📌 2020–2025

    The Engine

    At the beginning of 2025, MONARK IT L.L.C was officially established in Qatar. By that time, the seed had grown into the comprehensive platform ResearchGuide.net, providing pre-project consulting, dedicated R&D teams, post-project support, and AI integration — all powered by 20 passionate experts transforming complexity into clarity. The journey also gained international recognition at Web Summit.

    📌 2026

    The Incubation

    In 2026, the platform ResearchGuide.net was incubated at QSTP. Leveraging strong international expertise, it connects organizations with vetted researchers and on-demand experts, accelerating innovation and enabling measurable impact, particularly supporting R&D in the technology sector.
