Company
We know bonds. In fact, we’ve been at the intersection of the bond market and technology for over 20 years.
Vision
Transparency. Traceability. Expanded Access.
Alphaledger provides a direct, transparent municipal loan and bond marketplace that streamlines debt financing and increases direct engagement with investors.
Core Values
Make a Positive Contribution
As we build our marketplace, we ask ourselves how we can contribute to a more positive outcome. Our mantra is positive contribution, not extraction.
Equal Access
We strive to develop a platform that enables equal access to investors at primary issuance and in the secondary market.
Impact Matters
Our platform supports the primary issuance of positive impact projects. State and local entities own and operate 90% of public, non-defense infrastructure in the United States. They are at the front lines of the transition to a more sustainable infrastructure and we strive to support those projects with a cost effective, transparent, open, and efficient platform.
Technical Rigor
Years of bond market experience, at significant scale, has ingrained in us high standards for technical rigor across all aspects of our work. Our business is serious and we approach our role in the capital creation process with the responsibility it deserves.
We are Bond People!
