History
[edit]HoneyBook was founded in 2013 by Oz and Naama Alon, along with Dror Shimoni.[1] The concept originated during Naama Alon’s experience planning her wedding in Tel Aviv, where she identified a gap in tools for organizing event vendors.[5] The company received its first institutional investment in 2013 from the accelerator UpWest Labs and investor Bobby Lent. Shortly after, HoneyBook moved its operations to San Francisco to target the U.S. market, while maintaining a technology office in Tel Aviv.[6]
In 2015, HoneyBook raised $22 million in a Series B funding round to expand services across major U.S. cities and broaden its focus beyond the wedding industry to general service professionals.[6]
In 2021, HoneyBook raised $155 million in Series D funding, reaching a valuation of $1.1 billion.[7] A Series E round later that year brought in $250 million, doubling its valuation to $2.2 billion.[2] As of late 2021, the company reported that over $5 billion in business had been processed through its platform.[8]
In 2025, HoneyBook introduced artificial intelligence features to assist users in pricing services based on aggregated data from similar businesses.[9]
Products
[edit]The HoneyBook platform integrates customer relationship management (CRM), project and lead tracking, electronic invoicing, digital contracts, scheduling, online payments, and automation tools.[10] In 2025, the company added AI-based pricing tools and introduced financing options that offer early access to funds from pending client payments.[9]
The service is offered via subscription and is accessible through both desktop and mobile applications.[10]
Operations
[edit]HoneyBook’s headquarters are located in San Francisco, with an additional office in Tel Aviv.[1] As of March 2024, the company reported over 100,000 users and employed approximately 230 people.[4] CEO Oz Alon remains one of the founding executives.[3]
