Meet the Team

Miles Gotcher Soov Founder

Dealing with lifelong Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Miles would drink several ginger ales a day. Unhappy with how much sugar and how little real ginger is in ginger ale, he set out to create a healthier ginger ale alternative made with real ginger juice along with other digestion-friendly ingredients. After teaming up with food scientists, nutrition experts, and beverage pros, Soov was born! Check out the full story here.
