The operating system for bail

Get him
home. Faster.

Bail Buddy is the agented commerce layer on top of a $14B fragmented bail industry. Consumers get a bondsman in seconds; bondsmen get vetted leads on a seat subscription; agencies (Houses) get a dispatch OS with per-bond checkout fees. We roll out NC-first with a live client already operating.

Three-sided market

One product. Three payers. Every side wins.

Consumer

Family calls at 3am, Mike answers, intake done, cosigners loop in, bond posted before sunrise. Free to use.

Pays 10% premium (standard, transparent)
Bondsman

Vetted leads in your county, no cold outreach. Court reminders + e-sign + cosigner meter built-in. Solo seat or House downline.

$0–$149/mo seat + $10–$25 per bond posted
House (B2B)

Agency-level subscription. Leads route to the House first — you dispatch to your bondsmen. Liability stays with you.

$499–$3,499/mo · 5–50 seats
Why now

Every incumbent is a form. We are an agent.

Incumbents
  • · BailWatch, BondPro, Captira — legacy CRM, manual intake, no consumer surface
  • · Google + Yelp — expensive, unqualified, no follow-through
  • · Facebook Groups — untracked, ungoverned, unmonetized
Bail Buddy
  • · Voice AI agent (Mike) intakes at 3am — 0 forms
  • · Live jail + court data feed (CourtListener, VINE, county sheriff)
  • · Dispatch OS for Houses — the agency network, white-labeled
  • · Consumer share loop (crowdfund cosigner meter → viral)
  • · Per-bond checkout fee = growth = paid + product-led
