Recent news has often been growth- or partnership-focused, with mixed price reactions: some positive moves on recognition updates, but notable selloffs even on seemingly favorable partnership and earnings headlines.
Over the last few months, Bond has highlighted expansion of its AI-powered preventative personal security platform, including a top-5 VC firm engagement reaching over 1,000 portfolio companies and a Q1 2026 revenue increase to about $2.3M. Despite these growth markers, shares frequently traded lower after major partnership and earnings updates. Today’s citywide, municipality-funded rollout fits this trajectory of scaling distribution channels and emphasizing new go-to-market avenues like B2B and now government-linked access.

Program is Fully Funded by the Municipality and Demonstrates Potential for Large-Scale Government Adoption of AI-Powered Preventative Personal Security
NEW YORK, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Our Bond, Inc. (“Bond”) (NASDAQ: OBAI), the creator of the world’s first AI-powered Preventative Personal Security platform adopted by leading multinational companies, today announced a citywide deployment that will make Bond’s services available to approximately 270,000 residents through a municipality-funded program.
Bond believes the deployment represents a major milestone in the validation of its Business-to-Government-to-Consumer (“B2G2C”) strategy and establishes a potentially significant new route to market through which governments choose to provide preventative personal security services directly to residents at scale.
The deployment follows significant investment by Bond in developing government relationships and pursuing opportunities within the public sector. The Company believes this successful implementation demonstrates that municipalities recognize the value of providing residents with access to preventative personal security resources that complement traditional emergency response systems.
“We believe this deployment sets a precedent for this significant new market opportunity for Bond and represents an important strategic milestone in the Company’s evolution,” said Doron Kempel, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Bond. “Our mission has always been to make preventative personal security accessible to anyone with a smartphone. While enterprise customers remain a key growth driver, cities represent an exceptionally scalable distribution channel capable of reaching entire populations through a single deployment.”
“Importantly, since launching our municipal strategy, we have seen strong interest from cities seeking innovative solutions to address growing public safety challenges. Bond’s unique combination of AI-powered technology, global operations infrastructure, and proven emergency response capabilities has positioned the Company as a differentiated provider in this emerging category. We have been consistently recognized as a sole-source provider due to the uniqueness of our offering, creating a more efficient path to deployment by avoiding competitive tender processes.”
“We believe the business-to-government-to-consumer channel has the potential to become one of Bond’s most significant growth drivers, representing a multi-million-dollar revenue opportunity in 2026 alone and a potentially multi-billion-dollar global market opportunity over the longer term. Cities around the world are under increasing pressure to improve resident safety and security while leveraging technology to do more with limited resources, and importantly while preserving privacy. We believe Bond is uniquely positioned to meet that need at scale and establish a new category in preventative personal security.”
Bond is currently engaged with additional municipalities internationally and believes this successful deployment significantly strengthens its position in future government engagements.
