About the role
Mission
Finch was started by 2 friends (Nino & Steph 🙇🏾♂️🙇🏻♀️) who struggled with anxiety and depression and found self-care challenging to stick with. We decided to build Finch hoping to make self-care fun and accessible after seeing many others share similar struggles. Finch was launched in 2021, and our team is grateful to have helped over 20 million people on their mental health journeys.
Finch is profitable and we believe in responsible growth. We are a small but mighty team who are passionate about mental health.
