The Funding to Grow.
You’re an entrepreneur with a proven business model. Now what? If you’re ready to take your business to the next level, perhaps we should talk. At Honey Creek Capital, we take a very discerning, highly relational approach to investing. We support the founder, offer guidance, and, on a limited basis, coach entrepreneurial leaders. Because we are in it for the the long haul, we work to develop respectful and highly collaborative alliances.

Some find our years of business experience just as valuable as our ability to invest. In addition to teaching MBA students at Andrew B.
