Stoa

Stoa is an institutional marketplace for buying and selling GPUs and AI hardware. It aims to give a fragmented market a shared price discovery layer, with verified counterparties and recorded trades. The site describes supply as scattered across OEM allocation, cloud capacity, brokers, operators and secondary sellers, and positions Stoa as a single venue for pricing, discovery and execution. The company is backed by Y Combinator. The workflow runs from request for quote to settlement. A buyer describes the hardware in plain language or attaches a quote PDF, and AI drafts the request while the buyer controls every field. Verified dealers respond with firm quotes, and accepting one creates a binding trade. Settlement follows a recorded timeline of confirmation, payment, shipping, delivery, inspection and settlement, with evidence required at each step. A related product called Stoa Intelligence provides market pricing for AI hardware. The marketplace is built for GPU brokers and dealers, data center operators, AI labs and enterprises, cloud and neocloud providers, OEMs and resellers, lenders and lessors, and funds. The home page shows illustrative GPU price levels that it states are not live market data. Fees and subscription pricing are not published, and prospective users sign up or contact the team.
