Issuers across the municipal bond market rely on BondLink to power their investor outreach. Our clients come from a wide range of sectors and sizes, from large states to small cities and school districts. Notable clients include the State of Florida, the City of Chicago, and the University of Texas System. The idea to create a technology company to exclusively serve the needs of municipal issuers
was developed over our Co-founder and CEO's, Colin, seven years as debt manager for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Colin was always looking for an edge to improve his state’s borrowing costs, and worked closely on different financing strategies and innovations with his colleagues across the market in groups like the State Debt Management Network and the GFOA. With budgets getting tighter and tighter, the stakes are very high for issuers needing capital to fund public infrastructure: on average, governments and non-profits issue roughly $1 billion in municipal bonds every day, and the cost of repaying those bonds can consume between 8% and 10% of a typical annual budget. Despite the obvious need for technology to help issuers better manage their debt programs, there is no company offering the desired solutions for things like linking issuers with bond investors, allowing issuers to more easily manage their disclosure needs and compliance responsibilities, and sifting through the market’s noise to understand the fair value of their bonds. Built for issuers, by an issuer.
