Honeycomb Announces $4M in Funding, Led by Stellation Capital
Any new parent knows how hard it is to get things done. There’s a new human to suddenly tend to in addition to one’s normal chores and work, and on top of that all, we’re supposed to (and want to!) save every single precious moment of our new life with a child. But all the tech to do that — and the organization, tech savvy, or sheer information overload involved — can sometimes leave one feeling even more stressed. In the age of self-driving cars and drones, why is this still so hard?
That’s why we started Honeycomb, a new kind of social app for saving family memories. With Honeycomb, we’re modernizing the family album for the 21st century — get a daily reminder of your new photos and videos, choose favorites, then automatically save and share your daily story with family. We needed something easy, simple, and beautiful for ourselves, and we can’t wait to share what we’re building with the world.
We’re proud to announce we’ve raised $4M in funding to rapidly grow our ambitious team and expand our product, and launching out of private beta. The round was led by Peter Boyce at Stellation Capital with participation from Ben Ling at Bling Capital, Kyle Lui at DCM, and Charles Hudson at Precursor Ventures. Additional backing comes from a phenomenal set of angel investors, including Deborah Liu (CEO of Ancestry), Alex Chung (CEO of Giphy), Tripp Jones (Uncork Capital), and Nick Caldwell (VP of Engineering at Twitter), among others we admire.
