George Cook and Ken Martin realized that the type of community and relationship banking that built the main streets all across this country has been disappearing at an alarming rate. George, a sixth-generation community banker, and Ken, an investment banker with main street business experience, decided they wanted to do something about it. In 2017, they launched Honeycomb Credit, a locally-focused crowdfunding platform that helps business owners tap into their local communities to raise capital. Today, the Pittsburgh-based Honeycomb Credit has helped small businesses here and across the country to access the loan proceeds they need to grow their companies.
