Fin (formerly Intercom)
Fin was founded in 2011 by Eoghan McCabe, Des Traynor, Ciaran Lee, and David Barrett. The company originally built Intercom, a customer communication platform that defined the category. Today it operates as a private, founder-led software company headquartered in San Francisco with additional offices in London, Dublin, Chicago, Sydney, and Berlin. The firm's core product is now Fin — an AI customer agent that handles service, sales, and ecommerce conversations. The company says over 30,000 businesses use its products, and Fin resolves over 2 million conversations weekly. The AI agent runs on a firm-built model called Apex 1.0. Customers include Anthropic, Clay, Lightspeed, Rocket Money, and Gamma. The business reached $400M in annual recurring revenue (per the firm, 2025). Fin has more than 1,400 employees across six offices. In 2024, the company committed over $100M to AI development and expanded its AI group to 60 researchers. A new Berlin office opened as part of R&D expansion. The company renamed from Intercom to Fin during its transition to an AI-centric business. The company's structural differentiator is its full-stack AI approach: Fin offers a single integrated platform where the AI agent and human agents share the same customer record, data, and analytics. That unification, combined with a purpose-built AI model rather than a wrapper, sets it apart from overlay AI tools.
