Since launching on iOS and in the app store in 2016 with a focus on New York, Honcker is now delivering vehicles to consumers in eight states, with more on the way to fully leverage and utilize the company’s network of more than 200 dealer-partners, according to Nathan Hecht, the company’s founder and CEO.

“Honcker is revolutionizing the automotive industry by bringing the entire car leasing process online - from selection to pricing to closing - and providing a seamless lease execution process that can be completed by a consumer in just minutes from the convenience of their own home on their mobile device,” Hecht said. “This injection of capital from our new value-added partners will now allow us to truly step on the gas.”
