The name
Finch is named after the colorful and curious bird. The Finch is characterized by his simplicity, diversity and high energy level; all important traits for creative and innovative activities. Finch Innovation is also inspired by Charles Darwin. The Finches he discovered on the Galapagos Islands (Darwins’ Finches) allowed him to conclude his theory of evolution.
But most of all, the literal translation of finch in Dutch is the tick-in-the-box, which symbolizes matters that are completed and dealt with. This defines our natural drive to get things done, to finch it.
