Why this San Francisco bar ran two back-to-back Honeycomb campaigns during COVID

Declan Hogan and his family have run Valley Tavern in San Francisco's Noe Valley for 17+ years.

At the start of the lockdown, Declan quickly raised $49,000 in working capital to help Valley Tavern weather the storm and received overwhelming community support!

Declan immediately launched a second Honeycomb campaign to build a kitchen in the bar and reached his maximum goal of $40,000.

Building the kitchen will give Valley Tavern more flexibility to operate, regardless of what obstacles COVID throws its way.

Back for seconds: $100,000 raised in 11 days

Sherree Goldstein is the owner of Square Cafe, a breakfast + lunch spot that averages 10,000 monthly customers and $2M+ annually in sales.

When Sherree launched a Honeycomb campaign in 2018 to open a grocery market called My Goodness, she never imagined reaching her maximum goal of $35,000 in just 36 hours.

And now she's back on Honeycomb for seconds: Sherree is moving Square Cafe to a larger space. So far, she's raised $100,000 in the first 11 days, and the dollars keep coming!
