Who We Are
Honeycomb is a deep-tech, digital insurer focusing on multi-family property insurance, a $34B market in the US alone. Our core value proposition is delivering a differentiated, long-lasting customer and partner experience. Our proprietary Artificial Intelligence technology enables us to do so while generating 4x YoY topline growth and unparalleled profit margins.
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 $100M in annual sales in Q1 2024 while maintaining its strong and highly sustainable growth.
