Stratıgı
A company built on trust.
Stratigi Solutions is a business advisory and financial services team. We handle payments and capital for businesses worldwide, and make sure the owner understands both.
Blake Madew
Founder & CEO
Blake has spent over a decade in payments, starting as a lead generator and working every job on the way up: sales rep, sales manager, Director of Sales, and now CEO. There isn't a part of this business he hasn't done himself, which is why he still works alongside his team, closing deals, mentoring new reps, and staying close to the clients Stratigi serves.
His faith plays an important role in his personal and professional life, shaping how he leads and how he treats people.
His goal for Stratigi is simple: run a company where every business they work with knows someone is in their corner.
Anthony Sabatino
Founder & COO
Anthony has spent over a decade in payments, POS systems, and B2B consulting, working nearly every level of the industry from analyst to executive. He started in operations and project management, then moved into merchant services, where he sat with business owners to untangle their payment costs and mentored the sales teams around him.
That work led him to co-found Stratigi Solutions.
His focus is on payment setups built for real businesses rather than generic ones, with a specialty in embedded and integrated payments for software platforms, so payments fit inside the systems a company already runs.
Who we are
Built around the business owner
Stratigi was built on a simple belief: business owners deserve to understand the industry they're forced to deal with. Most were handed a terminal and a contract and told not to worry about the rest. We think the rest is the point.
So we teach it. We sit down with owners, walk through how payments and lending actually work, and help them make decisions with the full picture in front of them. Sometimes that means new equipment or capital. Sometimes it means reducing costs or fixing how their operations run. And when something isn't a fit, we say so.
Our story
Why "Stratigi"
Stratigi takes its name from the Greek word ‘Stratos,’ meaning army. The name is a statement about how we operate: as one unit, with nobody left behind.
Payments were only ever the entry point. Today we advise businesses across everything behind the counter: how they take payments, how they fund growth, and how their operations fit together. That's the role the name was always meant for.
