Keep your business strong with the community at your side.
For the past few weeks, the coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused massive disruption to our communities, the stock market, and our daily lives. We know that small businesses like yours are facing unprecedented uncertainty. We also know that there are hundreds of people in our community and the Honeycomb network that want to support you.
Wildroots Modern Market and Honeycomb Credit have partnered to bring light and hope for local small businesses with crowdfunded working capital. We are honored to be able to offer your business this opportunity in a time of need. Launch with your Wildroots community and tell your story alongside fellow Wildroots Creative Family businesses and other local small businesses.
Applications are now open to join the first Wildroots cohort.

We're in this together.
We’ve built Honeycomb by connecting great small businesses with investors right in their community. Making new connections and deepening existing ones is more important now more than ever.
To make this easier on you as a business owner, we are reducing the fee to launch a campaign from $250 to $100. We are also cutting down the success fee that we charge if your campaign hits its minimum goal from 8% to 6%, and investor fees from 2.85% to 1.4%. Capital can typically be deployed in as little as 30 days.
