Why Did SOM Partner With Softstar?
After years of building a beloved brand, SOM Founders Olie and Nathalie were ready to move on to new adventures, focusing on their passions for endurance racing and travel. Both SOM and Softstar are committed to high-quality USA-based production, upholding sustainable practices, and fostering strong relationships with their customers and team members. With Softstar’s acquisition of SOM in 2025, Olie and Nathalie continue to partner with Softstar going forward in a supportive consulting role.
