Hey everyone 🗺️ 👋

We are James and Everett, and we’re excited to announce Monarcha.

TL;DR:

We are building the AI-native GIS platform. Monarcha automates the slow, fragmented workflows in mapping and spatial analysis:

• Uploading and enriching datasets, done instantly
• Running 50+ spatial tools, just by describing what you need
• Producing styled maps, no SQL or Python required

Problem

Geospatial data is everywhere, but using it is deeply technical. Legacy tools like ESRI or QGIS require specialists with years of training, which makes even simple questions inaccessible to most teams.

Solution

Monarcha makes advanced spatial analysis simple and accessible. Anyone who needs maps can now run advanced geospatial analysis in seconds, no GIS expertise required.

How it works

Users connect their data and manage all spatial workflows through a single conversational interface.

They can see the analysis steps, provide feedback, and watch the map update instantly. The agent also can also spot and fix missing data or edge cases.

For example, users might say:

• “Find all parcels zoned residential within 10 minutes of transit.”
• “Overlay wildfire risk maps with proposed housing sites.”
• “Score neighborhoods by access to schools, parks, and jobs.”

It feels like having a full GIS team on demand, but faster, cheaper, and accessible to anyone.

About Us

The founders met at Cornell, where we led the university’s largest engineering and data science teams.

• James: Built a multi-agency alert system at Mark43. Designed at Station-F backed startup Loop. Led Cornell Digital Tech & Innovation.
• Everett: Researcher at Cornell AI Innovation Lab. Led ML Engineering at Cornell Data Science. AI Engineer at WEX and Data Scientist at Avalara.
