UMBRELLA CONSULTING

What UMBRELLA CONSULTING does

Umbrella Consulting (legal name: Umbrella Group) is a Puebla, Mexico-based strategic linking and business advisory firm founded in 2011 by Director General Armando Garcés Munive. The firm operates as a relationship broker — what it terms a "hunter" of strategic opportunities — that connects businesses, investors, entrepreneurs, and executives whose needs and offerings are mutually compatible. Its core offering, Vinculación Estratégica (Strategic Linking), is supported by adjacent services including Capitales Ángeles (Angel Capital introductions), Detección de Oportunidades (Opportunity Detection), Bienes Raíces (Real Estate advisory), and executive head hunting, plus a network of "Premium Allies" providing specialized services such as legal, fiscal, communications, insurance, and web/app development.

The firm operates without any proprietary technology platform, application, or API. All service delivery is human-driven and relationship-based, executed by an 8-person team under the leadership of the Director General. The underlying "technology" of the firm is the personal network, experience, and decision-maker access of its founder, supplemented by confidentiality-guaranteed engagement contracts. Pricing is outcome-based: fees (honorarios) are proportional to the benefits generated by the business connection, negotiated per engagement, and structured as multi-year contracts. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Umbrella Consulting serves both B2B and B2C clients, with primary segments being entrepreneurs and business owners seeking capital or partnerships, businesses in expansion phases, and angel investors seeking investment-ready projects. Documented customers include a Puebla-based healthcare company (expanded to Mexico and Central America), a Puebla agricultural enterprise group (positioned in foreign markets), and a Mexico City executive placed via head-hunting services. Geographic scope is regional — concentrated in Puebla and Mexico City with occasional Central America reach tied to specific client mandates. The firm is privately held, has no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, and no subsidiary structure.
