StrategyBRIX

What StrategyBRIX does

StrategyBRIX LLC is a San Francisco-based financial crimes compliance consultancy founded in 2021 and operating with 11-50 employees. The firm serves fintechs, digital asset and cryptocurrency companies, digital banks, and traditional financial institutions, with stated coverage across North America, South America, EMEA, and Asia. Its core offerings span three proprietary platforms and an adjacent professional services catalog: GenSBX, an AI-powered assessment platform that combines generative AI with expert-curated regulatory frameworks to automate compliance program evidence review and gap analysis; SBX Sentinel, an operations platform supporting transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, PEP/adverse media review, blockchain investigations, CDD, and fraud review delivered via onshore, offshore, or hybrid staffing models; and SBX Academy, a subscription-based compliance training platform with AML/BSA content, notification workflows, and progress reporting.

The firm's professional services portfolio covers compliance strategy and design, model validation, regulatory remediation (including NYDFS Part 504 assessments), risk and control management, examiner-grade risk assessments, and staff augmentation including fractional CCO services. Leadership comprises Founder and Managing Partner Jas Randhawa (previously Head of Financial Crimes at Stripe and Airwallex, builder of PwC's Financial Crimes Fintech practice on the US West Coast) and Managing Directors Jon Lo and Jim Prevot (CAMS-certified, ex-PwC, Matrix-IFS, and Quantexa). The company operates as a bootstrapped LLC with no disclosed external funding.

The business model combines professional services revenue (consulting, audits, operations support) with a subscription revenue stream (SBX Academy), delivered through a direct enterprise sales motion targeting C-suite compliance buyers (CCOs, CROs, General Counsels) with no channel intermediaries. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; engagement models vary by onshore/offshore/hybrid staffing mix. The firm differentiates on the combination of senior ex-Stripe/Airwallex/PwC/Quantexa talent, niche specialization in fintech and crypto-native compliance, and the integration of AI tooling into assessment workflows, with public case-study claims of 95% minimum QA on SAR filings, $1.2M projected annual client savings, and 100% reduction in delayed filings within 90 days.
