## ABOUT FINCH

We believe every American household deserves access to counsel in life’s biggest moments. At Finch, we’re building the infrastructure to make justice radically more accessible. Our modern approach to consumer law automates the admin work and puts clients first, starting with personal injury.

In just over a year, we've grown 10x, raised a $20M Series A, and become the pre-litigation partner of choice for top personal injury firms across the country. We believe the best outcomes happen when expert operators and purpose-built AI work together – which is why we handle every step of pre-lit, from intake and claim opening to medical records, lien management, and demands, with humans leading every case.

We’re backed by Sequoia, Redpoint, and the founders & CEOs of generational companies like DoorDash, Ironclad, and Digits. We’re rebuilding how the law serves everyday Americans from first principles, and we’re hiring exceptional operators to help us scale it nationwide.

- **Seamless CMS Integration**: Works within a firm's existing Case Management System (CMS) like Filevine or Smokeball, requiring no new software to learn.

- **Perks**: Flexible PTO, in-office snacks and drinks, and a $100/month tooling stipend.
- **Diverse Team**: Founders and key executives come from top-tier legal and tech backgrounds, creating a culture that values both operational excellence and technical innovation.
