ALternative Financing

Honeycomb Credit is a community-based investment platform that offers entrepreneurs an alternative way to raise capital by connecting small businesses with everyday investors rather than traditional lenders. Through its online crowdfunding model, business owners can secure fair-term financing—such as community-backed loans, crowdfunded equity, or revenue-sharing arrangements—from customers, neighbors, and local supporters who invest amounts as low as $100. This approach helps entrepreneurs access growth funds while retaining control and building stronger relationships with their communities, especially for businesses that might struggle to obtain conventional bank loans or venture capital. Honeycomb has expanded its services by integrating rewards-based crowdfunding, grants, and coaching through its acquisition of IFundWomen, creating a more comprehensive suite of funding options for startups and growing businesses nationwide.
