What Finches is building
Finches is a sourcing-intelligence platform for companies that buy agricultural raw materials, starting with food and beverage and extending to pharma and cosmetics. It matches outside signals like droughts, crop disease, labor shortages, and trade conflicts against a buyer's own raw materials, origins, and suppliers. Each alert explains what the signal means for that business and what to do next. The data fusion is the product. Internal data (supplier profiles, cultivated acreage, contracts) is joined with weather, satellite imagery, local news, scientific research, and field reports from agronomists. There's also a mobile app for logging farm visits, so a buyer's own field observations feed the same model. Output is region- and supply-chain-specific early warnings, not a generic risk score. The origin is unusually concrete. Catharina runs 500 pecan trees and a rain gauge on her family's farm in Uruguay, and saw that in a dry year the loss is visible months ahead but rarely reaches the people buying the harvest. The team ran 120 interviews on sourcing decisions before building. First customers are a leading organic baby-food maker and a North American Fortune 500 food conglomerate.
Why this matters
Supplier-risk monitoring is already a funded category (Prewave and Everstream have raised tens of millions), but those tools are built for manufacturing tiers and logistics disruptions. Agricultural inputs are different: the risk sits in a specific field, under a specific weather pattern, months before harvest, and it shows up in agronomist notes and local news well before it shows up in a price. Vanagon's Susanne Fromm said it directly: bottleneck signals are visible months ahead but scattered across disconnected sources. That gap only became cheap to close recently. Satellite imagery, multilingual local news, and unstructured field reports can now be read and joined to a contract table automatically, which used to need an analyst team per commodity.

How to actually get hired at Finches
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
Finches runs an applicant tracking system, but hiring managers still work referrals first. A cold application to Finches isn't dead, it's just fourth in line behind internal referrals, sourced candidates and recruiter pipelines.

What to show them
Pick one commodity and origin you can find a documented bad season for. Join a public satellite vegetation index (e.g. Sentinel-2 NDVI) with local-language news for that season, and measure how many weeks before the price move a combined signal would have fired. Be honest about false positives.

What Finches screens for
HTGF leading with a Bavarian co-lead (Vanagon) and Bayern Kapital joining is a standard German deep-industry pre-seed stack. What stands out is that the team is already senior: a founder with an exit, a CTO from Google and BMW, and a CFO/COO who took Veganz public. Two marquee design-partner customers before the round, including a North American Fortune 500, means the sales motion is already transatlantic. With no job posts yet, the window is a direct, specific approach before roles exist.

Don't make these mistakes
Catharina built and sold innosabi, Europe's leading innovation-management platform, after starting it at 22. She has heard every 'AI will transform supply chains' pitch. Stefanie led Google's Data & AI engineering team in Germany and ran data analytics at BMW, so don't overclaim ML depth either. Never pitch a generic supplier-risk dashboard; the founders interviewed 120 buyers specifically to avoid building one. Speak to a commodity, a region, and a signal.
Mistakes that kill Finches applications
Generic CVs stand out at a -person company — and not in a good way. Fastest path to rejection.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what Finches is dealing with right now — Supplier-risk monitoring is already a funded category (Prewave and Everstream have raised tens of millions), but those tools are built for manufacturing tiers and logistics disruptions, and what you'd do about it.
