Finch Customer Appreciation Happy Hour and The Current Live
Join us for a special 2-part event on Oct 6, 2026. We're producing the first-ever LIVE recording of The Current — our bi-monthly podcast exploring the intersection of people, finance, and data. Before doors open to the rest of the industry, we want to celebrate with our East Coast customers and raise a toast to our work together modernizing the employment ecosystem.
Part One · 5:00–6:00 PM — Customer Happy Hour
A private hour in the reserved upstairs lounge, just for you. On deck is the Next Egg — our signature customer cocktail for the night to raise a proper toast to our work, together with heavy appetizers from The Back Bar kitchen. You'll have Jeremy Zhang, Ansel Parikh, AJ Stahl, Sam Gurdus and Sean Breen in the room, plus a small, hand-picked group of the other operators building the employment ecosystem alongside you. We also have a few special “customer-only” surprises prepared.
Part Two · 7:15 PM — The Current Live
Stay for the ecosystem. The evening will culminate in the first-ever LIVE recording of The Current podcast featuring a panel of operators whose work in their respective industries is shaping the future of the employment.
Our host:
Ansel Parikh — Co-Founder & COO, Finch. Kleiner Perkins and Bond investor turned founder, Ansel co-founded Finch in 2020 and has since scaled it into the leading connectivity platform for HR, payroll, and benefits data, with a network of 250+ supported providers. As host of The Current, he digs past the surface story and into the real decisions, tradeoffs, and convictions that have defined careers, shaped businesses, and transformed industries.
Panelists:
Our panelists are under wraps for now, but they run platforms you already know with experience earned from leading major initiatives at firms like Unum, Plaid, Guardian, and Ramp. We’ll also be joined by some of The Current’s past guests. Listen to the episodes →
