Founding Story

Jennifer Kennedy launched HoneyBug in 2019 not only in a bid to reinvent baby and kids’ gifting, but in an effort to create a company that supports, listens and fosters female entrepreneurs and young talent. Jennifer founded HoneyBug out of her garage, while holding a full time job as a Senior Vice President of Product Marketing & Innovation at a multi-billion dollar food brand, and navigating life with two small children. As a mom of two, her family’s schedule was constantly overflowing with birthday parties, baby showers and more, and finding the time to shop for the perfect gift became next to impossible.

While successful in her career at global consumer brands, Kennedy always felt that companies missed the opportunity to embrace and cultivate the unique perspective and energy women and mothers brought to the office. Driven by a deep curiosity, resilience and vision for creating a company that celebrated women at all stages of their career, especially Motherhood, HoneyBug was born.


In just a few short months, HoneyBug hit the allusive $1M mark, sadly an uncommon milestone for many female ran businesses, and in 2020 she broke free of the “Golden Handcuffs” keeping her in a role she didn’t love. She moved her team of seasoned professionals and up-and-coming talent into their San Diego, California offices and the rest was history.


HoneyBug is committed to supporting female entrepreneurs, artisans and small business owners, leveraging a strict vendor scorecard to ensure more than 50% of their brands met this mark. Along with this fierce commitment, HoneyBug is unwavering in their support of their working mothers at HoneyBug Headquarters. Along with blanket flexibility to new parents, they also instated mandatory paid days off for the First Day of School, Children’s Birthdays and Mommy/Daddy and Me time.


“Sadly over my career, and as a new mother, only one manager ever truly supported and encouraged me to be both a great business woman and mom. That has to change” says Jennifer. As HoneyBug grows she has visions of on-site daycare, world class maternity and paternity leave and creating a truly industry leading culture that recognizes the only way women can “have it all” in their professional and personal life, is when your company believes you can.
