— Preferred vendors

The operators we trust to plug into the workspace.

HDBND's preferred vendors are technology partners and operators we've evaluated against the same standard we hold ourselves to: defensible math, an audit trail, and a record the athlete owns.

Criteria

How a vendor becomes preferred.

Every vendor we list has been through a real integration with at least one shared customer. They've shown their work on data ownership, on the audit trail, and on the recourse an athlete has if the partnership ends. We list operators we'd recommend to our own athletes.

Categories

What kinds of vendors we list.

Measurement and analytics partners. Content production studios. Compliance and contract platforms. Payments and tax operators. Each category is included only where the partner adds something HDBND doesn't already cover natively.

Partnership

How to become a partner.

If you operate in one of these categories and you're interested in being evaluated, write to partnerships@hdbnd.com. Tell us how you handle data ownership, the audit trail, and athlete recourse — that's the first conversation, not the last.
