Founded by entrepreneur Richard Joffe, cofounder of US-based Park Assist and Stella.ai, Honey launched in 2021. It raised a record $15.5 million in a Seed round led by underwriting partner RACQ and other institutional investors, including AGL, Metricon, Mirvac and PEXA.

The Series A was led by US-based Gallatin Point Capital, making its first Australian investment. The private investment firm from Greenwich, Connecticut, has backed several emerging insurance companies and late last year, poured US$1.25 billion into Trusted Resource Underwriters Exchange, founded in 2o2o, as part of a partnership with American Family Insurance Group.

The insurer offers the kit for free along with a premium discount.
