Techpay

What Techpay does

Techpay is a privately held, boutique strategic research and management advisory firm headquartered at 50 California St., Suite 1500, San Francisco, California. The firm advises senior executives at major corporations on the judicious selection and rigorous management of technology investments. Its stated practice covers overall business and technology strategy (diagnostic, vision, and roadmap), portfolio alignment and investment planning (project assessment/prioritization, economic analysis), and management and delivery model design. The firm also serves technology product, solution, and service providers with offering design, go-to-market strategy, and customer ROI modelling.

The practice is anchored by Founder and Principal Anthony J. (Tony) deLeon, who brings nearly 20 years of business strategy and technology consulting experience and has advised senior executives at over 50 major corporations globally across financial services, telecommunications, transportation, healthcare, and energy. Prior to founding Techpay, deLeon was a Partner at Accenture, where he led eCommerce and electronic payments thought leadership and managed Supply Chain and Finance & Performance Management service lines for the Western Region financial services practice, and a Principal at Booz-Allen & Hamilton leading consulting engagements across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. He holds a doctorate (with highest honors) from Golden Gate University, an MBA (with distinction) from Wharton, and an AB (summa cum laude) from Harvard in applied mathematics; he is also an adjunct professor at Golden Gate University and has published in E-Business Review and the Economist Intelligence Unit's Strategic Finance.

Techpay operates on a professional services revenue model, monetizing through custom advisory engagements rather than disclosed pricing or productized offerings. Distribution is direct-to-enterprise, leveraging deLeon's professional network and personal referral base, with thought leadership content and speaking engagements serving as top-of-funnel marketing. The firm is founder-owned, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, partnerships, or alliances, and shows no evidence of AI/ML product development, patents, or funding events in the available data.
