Up until working with Honeycomb, I'd never been on the news. Honeycomb opened that door and allowed me the opportunity to share my story.

At least once a week, we have someone who comes up to us and says, "Oh hey, I'd like to meet you, I invested through Honeycomb." It's definitely shown to be a community and network.

The funding really allowed us to pull the trigger. I don’t know if we would’ve ever done co-packing without the loan, and now, co-packing could represent a very significant portion of our revenue stream.
