Who We Are

Honeycomb Insurance is an award winning InsureTech startup, founded by serial entrepreneurs and industry veterans and backed by top investors. Honeycomb has established itself as the driving force behind the future of real-estate insurance and provides simple, fair, and affordable insurance through its end-to-end digital platform. Honeycomb leverages user-generated proprietary data, advanced Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision to automate a currently manual, inaccurate and costly underwriting process

In contrast with the traditional insurance industry, which relies primarily on costly manual labor, Honeycomb already automated 60% of its underwriting processes achieving significantly better customer experience, consistency, and scalability and at the same time, delivering extremely low and highly consistent loss ratios. Honeycomb is expected to cross well over $100M in annual sales in 2024 while maintaining its strong and highly sustainable growth.
