How it works
Hi, we’re Honeycomb. Local businesses run investment offerings on our platform, get hands-on campaign support from our expert team, and share their success with fans and interested investors - boosting their name and getting them the funding they need to grow.
It all started with a community bank and a juice shop.
As a sixth-generation community banker, George witnessed qualified local business owners getting denied for loans from big commercial banks. At the same time, Ken was struggling to get a loan for his juice shop, despite his background in finance. And so, the idea for Honeycomb Credit was born.
Today, we're a team of small business owners, finance nerds, technologists, and food enthusiasts. What connects us is an obsession with the local businesses that make neighborhoods special places to live, eat, and play.
