Jin News (Reporter Deng Li) yesterday, on the Liberation Park Road in Hankou, Hubei's first "Honeycomb Coffee Restaurant" crowdfunded by 100 entrepreneurs officially opened (pictured). The biggest difference with several crowdfunded coffee in Jiangcheng is that Honeycomb's 130 shareholders come from financial investment, trade logistics, catering services, medical e-commerce and other fields, almost everyone has a long list of titles on their business cards. Among them, including the little blue whale, Qianjixi cake, the founder of Chu Kitchen King and other outstanding local entrepreneurs.

Why are these wealthy business people willing to lay down their bodies and become the 1% shareholders of a coffee restaurant with an area of only 500square meters?

As Xiong Wen, general manager of Central Venture Capital and one of the sponsors of Honeycomb Coffee, said: "here, drink coffee and chat, you may be able to receive a big order, or give birth to a new project." However, apart from talking about business, we also hope to turn this place into a family kitchen where we can often get together and play cross-border together. "

According to reports, Honeycomb Coffee was initiated by five entrepreneurs and initially planned to recruit only 100 shareholders. Unexpectedly, as soon as the recruitment news fermented in the moments, more and more people signed up, and finally the shareholder capacity was expanded to 130. According to the rules, each shareholder invests 20,000 yuan. "at present, our beehive does not plan to make a profit, first take the coffee restaurant as the carrier, rely on the shareholders' network resources, build an interactive information platform and a re-entrepreneurship space for entrepreneurs."

It is understood that during the trial operation period of nearly two months before the official opening, Honeycomb held financial investment lectures, baking classes and other theme salon activities.
