Finch has been recognized as one of the rising stars in the fintech sector by GGV Capital U.S., in collaboration with Crunchbase, as part of the Fintech Innovation 50 list, marking another milestone after its inclusion in GGV's Embedded Fintech 50 list last year. The selection reflects investors' ongoing confidence in the fintech industry, encompassing areas such as financial infrastructure, lending, and AI, despite challenges like decreased valuations and increased interest rates in 2023. Finch, a universal API for employment data, aims to enhance connectivity in the employment data ecosystem by simplifying secure access to data across HR, payroll, and benefits systems, thereby fostering growth and innovation. The nomination process for the 2024 list involved 150 companies put forward by 44 investment firms, with selection criteria focusing on companies with a primary focus on fintech, based in the U.S., and at Series A financing or beyond. Members of Finch's NYC-based team celebrated the recognition by ringing the opening bell at the Nasdaq Marketsite, highlighting the company's role as a disruptor and enabler in the fintech landscape.
