Summary
Our Bond, Inc. (NASDAQ: OBAI), creator of the world's first AI-powered Preventative Personal Security platform, is advancing toward its largest enterprise deployment following validation across major corporate and municipal sectors. On February 13, 2026, the company announced successful completion of a one-year paid pilot with one of the world's largest employers, an organization with nearly one million employees in the United States. The pilot validated Bond's ability to deliver preventative, proactive, real-time security across large, diverse employee populations. Following the pilot's positive completion, Bond and the customer have entered discussions for a proposed broader rollout across the U.S. workforce, which could represent the company's largest enterprise deployment to date and generate annual revenue exceeding $10 million.

The pilot's success demonstrated strong validation of Bond's technology across an enterprise-scale deployment. Participants received 24/7 access to Bond's AI-powered platform and live Personal Security Agents capable of responding within seconds. The platform detects risks, monitors employee status, provides real-time guidance, deters threats, and coordinates emergency first responder coordination. Feedback from pilot participants and corporate stakeholders was overwhelmingly positive, reinforcing the platform's scalability and capacity to enhance both workplace and personal safety. This enterprise validation positions Bond favorably for expansion into adjacent customer segments and geographies.

Bond's growth trajectory extends beyond the Fortune 500 pilot. In March 2026, one of the three largest U.S. telecommunications companies deployed Bond's platform for a key sales team, establishing a new enterprise relationship with potential ARR exceeding $2 million if scaled across the broader workforce. Bond's enterprise strategy employs a "land-and-expand" model, beginning with initial team deployments and expanding across departments and geographies as organizations recognize value. Recent successes span retail, pharmaceuticals, financial services, and telecommunications sectors, with the company actively in discussions with additional Fortune 500 companies regarding broader adoption.

On April 14, 2026, Bond announced expansion into four international cities through a government-to-consumer (B2G2C) channel, marking significant geographic expansion. The company estimates these municipal agreements could collectively generate between $2 million and $6 million in annual recurring revenue, assuming 10–30% resident adoption. Bond underwent independent third-party security review to secure city endorsement and was recognized as the sole supplier of AI-powered preventative personal security—a designation strengthening its competitive positioning. As municipalities increasingly seek innovative solutions to enhance resident safety within constrained budgets, Bond's platform offers rapid deployment capability with scaling potential over time. The B2G2C channel represents a capital-efficient, highly scalable growth avenue, leveraging city communications infrastructure to reduce customer acquisition costs.
