Finch
Finch is a New York-based legal technology company building an AI-powered pre-litigation team for personal injury law firms.

Founded in 2024 by former DoorDash and Google operators, Finch raised a $20M Series A in October 2025 led by Redpoint, with backing from Sequoia Capital and a roster of operator-investors.
