Softside connects music artists & other entertainers with their creative fans through officially licensed, fan-designed merch partnerships.
Problem
We are making it easier for fans to access licensed trademarks and approval channels to design & sell merch for their favorite music artists without the worry of IP infringement.
Solution
Our platform enables submission curation, creative portfolio building, merch management, licensing, revenue-sharing, and production/fulfillment. We handle the full end-to-end collaboration process in our platform.
