Honeycomb Insurance

At Honeycomb, we're not just building technology; we're reshaping the future of insurance.

In 2025, Honeycomb was recognized by Dun & Bradstreet as "Top 10 Best Start Up Companies to Work For" in Israel, named by LinkedIn as "Top 10 Startups in Chicago", and Newsweek's "Greatest Startup Workplaces in America, 2025". Through the first half of 2026 we've been recognized on Inc. Magazine's "Best Workplaces" List and Forbes "Fintech 50".

How did we earn these honors?

Dual-headquartered in Chicago and Tel Aviv (R&D center), and with 6 offices across the U.S., we are reinventing the commercial real estate insurance industry, an industry long overdue for disruption. Just as importantly, we ensure every employee feels deeply connected to our mission and one another.

With over $100B in insured assets, Honeycomb operates across 23 states, covering more than 65% of the U.S. population and increasing its coverage.
