About Vertrix

Meet Chris

Hi, I’m Chris Pike, founder of Vertrix. I have over 25 years of hands-on experience in finance and technology. I have built data teams and platforms at asset managers and proprietary trading firms, designed and implementing trading systems for major institutions, and even developed FIX engines on the exchange side. This depth of experience gives me a rare, cross-functional perspective on trading and data infrastructure.

I founded Vertrix after spending many years solving the same set of problems as one-offs. Trustworth data that your team can find and use effectively, at a reasonable cost are goals across organizations. Vertrix is here to help you achieve those goals.

Today, I’m focused on helping small buy-side firms implement data platforms that balance capability with simplicity, enabling access to trusted data without unnecessary complexity.

Our Approach

Your firm must be able to act on data at the speed of your strategies. We start by understanding where your opportunities are, whether it is discovering the data you need, trusting its quality, or being able to manage the data you've already got. Only once we understand your goals will we look to define measureable success and finally find a solution that works for you.

From Data Challenges to Business Advantages

Struggling with messy ingestion, inconsistent data quality, limited access, or unclear governance? These common issues can stall growth and cloud critical decisions. Whether you're buried in unusable data or trying to scale a platform that’s no longer keeping up, Vertrix helps you cut through the noise.

We turn data chaos into clarity—designing practical, cost-effective platforms that support your business today and scale with you into the future.
