Bali Lead: Curated Social Gatherings

Hello from Soma ?

Soma is an app for invite-only gatherings. We bring together the city's most compelling people for lively conversation.

Under our previous brand, SocialTable, we hosted 200+ dinners across Austin, Nashville, Seoul, and Bali. Over 30,000 people created a profile in the app. With Soma, we’re building something more elevated and more selective.

We’re hiring in Tokyo, Bangkok, Canggu, Hong Kong, Seoul, and Singapore.
