(BOSTON, MA, January 18, 2024) – BondLink, the leading cloud-based investor relations and debt management platform for the municipal bond market, today announced a new partnership with Nickel Hayden Advisors, an SEC-registered minority- and veteran-owned municipal advisory firm based in Austin, Texas. 

As part of the partnership, BondLink’s technology will power the investor outreach and go-to-market deal preparation for Nickel Hayden clients as they issue bonds in the $4 trillion municipal bond market. Nickel Hayden specializes in providing financial consulting to school districts, cities, counties, and public facility corporations. 

By leveraging BondLink's investor network and debt management tools, Nickel Hayden aims to ensure their issuers can attract strong, diverse investor awareness ranging from individual investors and mutual funds to other asset managers.

"A core tenet of Nickel Hayden is to apply the best technology to everything we do with our clients,” said Rudy Mejia, Founder & CEO of Nickel Hayden. “The bond market is evolving rapidly, and public sector CFO’s need to find new efficiencies because they’re so understaffed. Our partnership with BondLink allows us to access the capital markets with the preferred resource for bond investors, which is a massive benefit for our clients.”

BondLink has established itself as a go-to platform for market participants, with the top 100 municipal asset management firms representing over $2 trillion in municipal assets under management in the network.

Colin MacNaught, CEO and Co-Founder of BondLink, echoed his enthusiasm for the partnership. “We’re thrilled to be working with Nickel Hayden, as they put a premium on delivering personalized solutions that meet the needs of today’s market participants. Rudy and his team see the value of modern investor outreach and engagement that’s possible with us, ensuring a better financing experience for both their clients and investors.”
