Honey to Cocoa is a beauty tech startup on a mission to make beauty more personal, inclusive, and data-driven—starting with people of color. We’re building an AI-powered marketplace that uses facial biometrics and machine learning to help users find makeup that actually matches their skin tone. Think of us as the digital beauty advisor that sees you, understands you, and recommends products that actually work for you.
We’re a Techstars-backed company, currently in the early stages of launching our app and partnering with indie beauty brands that have long been overlooked by traditional retailers. At Honey to Cocoa, we blend beauty, culture, and cutting-edge tech—and we’re looking for interns who want to help shape the future of inclusive beauty.
Whether you’re a social-savvy content creator or a technically curious problem solver, you’ll get to work closely with our founder, contribute meaningfully to real projects, and help build something the beauty world has never seen before.
