Honeycomb, an Israeli 🇮🇱-US 🇺🇸
#digitalinsurance company, has recently closed a Series B financing round, securing $36 million in funding. The round was led by Zeev Ventures, with participation from new investors Arkin Holdings and Launchbay Capital, as well as existing investors Ibex Investors, Phoenix Insurance, and IT-Farm. This latest round brings the total amount raised by Honeycomb to $55 million. 💰🚀
Founded by CEO Itai Ben Zakan and CTO Nimrod Sadot, Honeycomb specializes in
#realestate insurance and began its operations in the US market in June 2021. Currently operating in 16 states, which constitute 60% of the US market, Honeycomb has already issued policies insuring real estate valued at $21 billion. The company anticipates tripling this amount within the next 12 months. Honeycomb focuses on landlord insurance within a market estimated to be worth $34 billion annually in the US. 🏢
With plans to double its workforce from 90 to 180 employees over the next 18 months, Honeycomb intends to allocate many of these new hires to its development center in Herzliya. The company's proprietary
#AI-driven technology allows for granular risk management and underwriting at the individual building level, resulting in consistent coverage at competitive prices for well-maintained properties.
This technology also streamlines the customer and broker experience, offering
#insurance coverage that adapts to changing client needs. 🤖
Honeycomb sells its policies directly through its platform and through a network of insurance brokers. The company's
#technology enables brokers to quickly and efficiently obtain quotes for their clients in real-time, significantly reducing the time required for the quoting process from weeks to virtually instantaneous. This efficiency translates into increased profitability for brokers and added value for customers. 📱💼
Looking ahead, CEO Itai Ben Zakan stated that the new funding will be used to enhance the end-user experience, improve profitability for broker partners, and expand the types and sizes of policies offered.
Additionally, Honeycomb plans to deepen its technological advantage by leveraging proprietary AI models and unique first-party data, as well as expand into new insurance markets to become a comprehensive solution for commercial real estate insurance in the US. 🚀🏢
Oren Zeev, founding partner at Zeev Ventures, emphasized that Honeycomb is addressing a significant problem in a vast market, allowing the company to rapidly increase its annual recurring revenue (ARR) and achieve operational profitability in a short period. 📈💼
