Company profile
researched Aug 2026BondLink is a Boston-based financial technology company that sells cloud-based software to issuers in the municipal bond market, which its own materials and press coverage describe as roughly $4 trillion in size. The platform is organized around three product areas: investor relations (turnkey issuer IR websites and investor communication tools), deal marketing (printing, distribution, virtual roadshows, deal pages and investor intelligence for working groups executing a bond sale), and debt management (automatically updated views of an issuer's debt portfolio, annual planning and payment analyses). The company describes its offering as an all-in-one debt management platform combining software with a dedicated support team that functions as an extension of an issuer's back office, covering tasks from compliance filings to investor identification to bond sale preparation.
A second side of the platform serves institutional investors, who can build custom portfolios of followed issuers, credits and bond sales, monitor an issuer activity feed of newly posted documents and project updates, view an enhanced bond sale calendar with associated documents and investor presentations, search issuers by sector, geography, CUSIP or keyword through an issuer discovery tool, configure daily notifications and real-time alerts, and contact issuer representatives directly through the platform.
The company was founded in 2015 by Colin MacNaught (CEO) and Carl Query (CTO). Third-party sources classify it as a venture-backed fintech/SaaS company at Series A stage with investors including Franklin Templeton Investments, Coatue Management, Accomplice, FinTech Sandbox and Galaxy Capital, plus a strategic investment from Intercontinental Exchange described by the company as its Series B.
