01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Overbond is a Toronto fintech founded in 2015 by fixed-income experts Vuk Magdelinic and Han Ryoo. Its AI fixed-income analytics platform, built around the COBI (Corporate Bond Intelligence) engine, generates near-real-time pricing and liquidity scores for hundreds of thousands of bonds, matches issuers with investors on new bond offerings, and automates pricing, smart order routing and RFQ responses on bond trading desks. In early 2016 it raised $7.5 million in seed financing from Morrison Financial, one of the largest seed rounds in Canadian history at the time.
