Launch HN: Stoa Markets (YC S26) – A Marketplace for GPUs and AI Servers
GPU scarcity has spawned a wave of brokerage and marketplace startups, and Stoa is betting there's enough secondary and spot-market volume in AI hardware to sustain a dedicated exchange. The real test is liquidity and trust in a market where sellers range from hyperscalers offloading capacity to individuals flipping mining rigs. Worth watching as a proxy for how tight the compute market actually is right now, not yet worth acting on.
