Established in 1998, JamBase is the premier website for fans of live music. By providing the largest database of show listings and ticket information, authoritative content, community, and personalization tools for fans, JamBase connects music fans with the music they love and empowers them to go see live music. Originally founded by fans for fans, JamBase quickly evolved to serve not only devoted music enthusiasts, but all lovers of live music, while providing a platform for musicians to be discovered. Today, more than a half million people participate in the JamBase community every month and rely on the website to find the most accurate show listings available for 220,000 artists across 50 genres, performing in 139,000 venues worldwide. JamBase is headquartered in San Francisco and on the Web at http://www.jambase.com.

Best began as a pure kiteboarding company. We didn’t grow out of windsurfing or any other sport, so we’ve never had to deal with any legacy protocols. From the very beginning our spirit has been to challenge the status quo and bring innovation to everything we do. We’re driven by our obsession with our customers; people like you who love kiting like us. To get closer to our customers meant that we had to break up the old and tired business methods of the past. We pioneered new communication technologies. We were the first in the industry to have a direct customer service hotline. We established an open forum on our website and still today we’re the only brand you can reach directly via chat or Skype. We pioneered a modern distribution model. The first innovation that we brought to the market was a process, not a product. Our obsession with putting customers above all else led to the industry’s first direct-to-consumer sales model. We followed that up by adding a direct-to-retailer sales model, to include local shops and schools in our rapidly growing family. We cut distributors out of the chain and operate our own centralized warehouses that efficiently serve the major markets. In an industry with limited production sources and low barriers to entry, it’s difficult to find cost-advantages. The disruption that we brought to the market by bypassing distributors allowed us to charge lower prices and pass the savings to our customers.
