About us

bondScovery started as a side project, and while we run it with institutional-grade standards, we still keep that light, builder-first mindset.

We're a team of people who invest in fixed income and got tired of how hard it is to see the whole picture.

Why we built it

If you've tried, you know the drill. Bond data is scattered across a dozen places, most of it behind a paywall priced for institutions. And you have to hand it to the free corners of the internet: they have everything, as long as everything means about eleven government curves.

• Want the ten-year Treasury? Here you go.
• Want a mid-size European issuer's own curve? Here's a PDF from 2019.
• Want it plotted against its sector? Have you tried asking your broker very nicely?
• Want the same picture in another currency? Congratulations, you've just described a subscription that costs more per year than a car.

We kept hitting that wall, kept saying "someone should build this," and eventually ran out of reasons why that someone shouldn't be us. So we built the thing we wanted to find: global coverage, granular enough to be useful, and shaped so you can actually look at it rather than scroll a spreadsheet.

Who pays for this

Right now, we do. Data licences, servers, and the hours it takes to keep the pipeline honest all come out of our own pockets. There's no investor behind this, no ads, and we don't sell your data.

That's ok for now. Down the line we might open up donations, or make STUDIO, the advanced analytics side, a paid tier to cover the bills. We'll see how it goes, and how many people actually find this useful. What won't change: the core stays free.

We think financial literacy shouldn't be a members-only club. The information that helps you understand what you own, or what you're about to buy, shouldn't be reserved for people with a terminal subscription. That's most of the reason this exists.

What we'd love from you

Three things, all optional, all genuinely helpful:

• Tell us what's broken. If a number looks wrong, a curve looks strange, or the site does something odd on your phone, we want to hear it. We read every message.
• Tell us what's missing. Feature requests shape what we build next, more than you'd think. Small team, short list, your input moves things up it.
• Share the link. If bondScovery saved you an afternoon, send it to someone who'd feel the same way.

We're also on LinkedIn and Substack. Follow along if you want to hear what we're building next and support our growth.

Thanks for being here. Go poke around the curves.
