In an announcement made today, the MACH Alliance, a group of independent tech companies devoted to advocating for the development of best-of-breed technology ecosystems, announced that Kibo has joined the group as its 101st member and the first new member of 2024. Kibo is a provider of unified commerce solutions that are scalable and composable.
During the NRF Big Show in New York City, where the Alliance and Kibo will be attending, the Alliance will be bringing back the MACH Haus after its successful debut as part of the NRF Big Show in 2023. 
A merger strategy resulted in the creation of Kibo, bringing together multiple, diverse technologies under one brand, allowing them to work together in harmony. It is important to note that the business has undergone significant transformation across its product portfolio, business strategy, go-to-market strategy, and beyond. Currently, Kibo has found its core offering to be rooted in pure-play MACH. This reflects a new reality to the Alliance, where several new members and applicants are rethinking or re-architecting their product strategies to align more closely with the principles of MACH.

MACH Alliance president, Casper Rasmussen said, "Our membership momentum continues to climb both in terms of volume and quality, two things which we are extremely proud of as the Alliance.". "But we're continuing to hold true to our stringent certification criteria, which we really enhanced in 2023 by publishing a detailed Admissions Playbook and recommitting to the high standards that have defined this organization from the very beginning.. As the first of a number of industry leading companies to be announced for 2024, we are pleased to have Kibo on board

It has been confirmed that the company will enter MACH Alliance's ISV category, which is for MACH tech vendors representing new, best-of-breed technology platforms and products.

The Machy Alliance announced in December that it had reached 100 members, adding eight companies to wrap up a successful year in which the Alliance is seeing a growing commitment from the industry to adopt modern, composable technologies. It also coincides with a marked surge in interest from established vendors, who are actively building their MACH credentials through strategic acquisitions and innovative re-architecting of solutions, and are actively acquiring MACH companies.
