description De novo private bank called Fieldpoint is extraordinarily unusual. Not because of its size, certainly: It has only 30 employees. In location, it's largely obscure as well, its one-and-only office sitting inconspicuously on Field Point Road in Greenwich, CT. But it is far less the surroundings of the bank than its remarkable provenance -- those 31 people who started it -- that makes Fieldpoint unique. These founders are for the most part a who's who of business, many retired, some not, and two-thirds having a link to Merrill Lynch. The founders had one big fact going for them as this enterprise got started: They were millionaires, irrefutably so, because each put up either $1 million or $2 million to capitalize the bank, contributing a total of $35 million. Today, two years after Fieldpoint's start, Daniel Donahue, chairman and CEO, says that about 30% of the bank's business comes from its founders and about 70% from the general public.
