Overview
Stoa was founded by Mike Saraswat and Sam Goodenough, two co-founders a decade apart on the millennial spectrum but united by the same values: money should work harder for the people who earn it, whether they are consumers or businesses. Both saw the same problem. The government and banks leave consumers, startups and small businesses with almost no meaningful options for their cash balances.
