HoneyQuote.com is a home insurance comparison tool that is changing the way homeowners shop for insurance. We’re a team of developers and insurance nerds on a mission to promote innovation and a more transparent industry. The world of homeowners insurance is way more complicated than it needs to be. A perceived complexity of insurance products has allowed insurers and agents to ignore innovative ways to serve customers and remain inefficient, which only hurts the growing number of consumers who prefer to research and purchase products online and alone. Insurance is deemed too hard to understand for the average person. But we don’t buy that. With HoneyQuote, users can learn about, shop for and purchase an insurance policy 100% online. We give them the educational resources required to make decisions, as well as the platform to make them reality. Our mission is to empower Floridians to take control of their home insurance by helping them understand their policies and confidently make hard decisions.

Hyper is a next-generation back office automation platform that uses AI agents to radically simplify finance workflows. Our technology replaces legacy expense management tools by automating policy enforcement, GL coding, audit preparation, and budget visibility; all through conversational AI that lives where employees already work, such as Slack, iMessage, and email. With Hyper, employees can submit expenses simply by messaging an AI agent, while finance teams benefit from real-time compliance checks, automated enrichment, and instant reporting. The result is a fully automated, audit-ready process that eliminates manual cleanup and accelerates monthly close. Since launch, Hyper has helped companies across industries cut expense cycle times by up to 80% and reclaim significant spend leakage through proactive policy enforcement. Developed in collaboration with Sam Altman and powered by enterprise-grade AI, Hyper delivers smarter, faster, and more compliant financial operations. Backed by leading investors and designed with enterprise-grade security, Hyper gives forward-thinking companies the ability to modernize their finance operations today; without lengthy implementations or complex change management.
