COI disclosure and request for review
I have a conflict of interest and disclose per WP:PAID that I am affiliated with Bond Sports. I will not edit the article directly. Please review the draft for neutrality, sourcing, and notability under WP:GNG and WP:ORG. If changes are needed, I will propose exact text with citations here.

Updated source assessment (June 2026)
Reframing the sourcing after expanding the draft. The notability case rests on two pieces of independent reporting in Sports Business Journal; the remaining citations support specific facts only.
Independent, secondary:
- Schaefer, Rob. "Bond Sports' software for athletic facilities adds new partner in Black Bear Sports Group", Sports Business Journal, Sept 21, 2023 — https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2023/09/21/bond-sports/ (reported article; company background, B2B2C model, 100+ facilities)
- "Bond Sports to provide management software for TOCA Football facilities", Sports Business Journal, May 11, 2026 — https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2026/05/11/bond-sports-to-provide-management-software-for-toca-football-facilities/ (reported article; client roster incl. Chelsea Piers, Ottawa Senators)
- Yale Daily News, Nov 5, 2020 — founding/background (student paper)
- The Des Moines Register, Jan 6, 2015 — independent coverage of the founders' prior company (Meredith/Selectable Media)
Supporting facts only (not offered for notability):
- PR Newswire, May 2025 — Bond ID launch
- Youth Sports Business Report, Mar 2026 — SUB-ZERO integration
- Bond Sports "About Us" — headquarters and investor detail
I recognize this may still fall short of WP:NCORP, as both SBJ pieces are partnership-related; I am continuing to seek an independent, in-depth profile of the company and welcome the reviewer's read. Bondjacobbond (talk) 11:57, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
