• About Mbira's Clients/Partners:
  • Mbira's client partnerships go far deeper and last much longer than those of typical service firms. We structure partner relationships to align our incentives with our partners', primarily by tying our financial performance to the bottom-line success of our clients over the long term.
  • Two of Mbira's clients are Top 300 Internet Retailers.
  • For three consecutive years, two of Mbira's clients have earned BizRate Circle of Excellence awards for customer experience quality (the Top 50 of all e-tailers based on independent customers' surveys).
  • Mbira's clients have exceeded their industry cumulative annual growth rate by a factor of five or more for the past five years.
• Why the focus on musical instruments and equipment?
  • By maintaining a sharp focus on a specific industry, we have deeper knowledge of the businesses our partners operate. As a result, we can better leverage what we learn from one client to another. Our clients may choose to benefit from these synergies or to maintain a 100% discreet relationship with us.
• Why haven't you heard of Mbira?
