Russ D’Argento

D’Argento earned a BA from the University of Connecticut in Storrs, where he was a four-year standout on the Huskies baseball team, and he played for the Hyannis Mets of the Cape Cod Baseball League.⁠[1]

In the 2005 season D’Argento, a senior outfielder from Marlboro, Massachusetts, hit .324 over 51 games with 57 hits, 44 RBI and 19 stolen bases, becoming only the seventh player in UConn history to reach 200 career hits, and in May he was named to the third-team All-Big East.⁠[2]

Before founding FINTRX, he was senior consultant of family office marketing and introductions at Windham Capital Group, a consulting firm in the hedge fund space.⁠[3]

In 2014 D’Argento founded FINTRX as a solo founder without outside funding.⁠[4]

The company began by researching family offices, which it describes as the least transparent allocators in finance.⁠[5]

He said the idea came from his own difficulty raising capital in the private wealth space; he wanted to bridge portfolio managers and family offices and bring fragmented private wealth data into a single platform.⁠[3]

In November 2021 FINTRX closed a $9 million Series A funding round.⁠[6]

In 2023 FINTRX first appeared on the Inc. 5000 list of fast-growing companies, at No. 2,919.⁠[7]

In February 2023 D’Argento was named one of the top 100 CEOs to work for in Boston by Comparably, based on employee ratings. He said the recognition was a testament to the work of the whole FINTRX team, which then had more than 100 employees at its Greater Boston headquarters.⁠[4]

In 2026 FINTRX rose to No. 1,226 on the Inc. 5000, with three-year growth of 285 percent.⁠[7]

On February 17, 2026, FINTRX named Chris Kiley, who joined in 2017, chief revenue officer and Dennis Caulfield, who joined in 2018, chief product and data officer, and hired Patrick Bendon from PitchBook Data as director of sales. D’Argento said Kiley and Caulfield had been instrumental in building FINTRX.⁠[8]

On June 16, 2026, FINTRX announced that it had completed its SOC 2 Type 2 examination, having earlier that year achieved ISO 42001 certification for AI management. D’Argento said that “SOC 2 Type 2 has become the bar for enterprise due diligence.”⁠[9]

On September 10, 2026, FINTRX launched Fin, an AI agent that monitors the private wealth industry and pushes alerts and pre-meeting briefs through email, Slack, Microsoft Teams and calendars. D’Argento said clients wanted FINTRX data to show up where they were already working.⁠[10]

As of October 2026 D’Argento remains founder and CEO of FINTRX, which says it has more than 1,500 clients and over 70 research analysts.⁠[5]
