Stoa Money

Unlock perks when you save. Saving, reimagined - get high-value perks upfront, not small bank interest.

[Stoa Money @StoaMoney]

We’re finally excited to share this video. We’ve been holding it back until after our fundraising announcement.

The legendary @blandina_mike, CIO of @Snowflake, remembered @StoaMoney at @money2020 last year. It was great to hear Mike give our startup a mention.

We help banks and credit unions secure more deposits for longer, attract new customers and members, and delight them with tangible perks upfront.

Here’s a little snippet, with great questions from @JamesLTyson

[Stoa Money @StoaMoney]

Every ambitious company starts with an ambitious team.

We're building Stoa with people who think big, move with purpose and are committed to delivering meaningful outcomes for our customers.

Because the right people don't just build products.
They build the future.

Great ecosystems aren't built by solving hundreds of problems.
They're built by deeply understanding one.

At Stoa, every product, feature and partnership starts with the same fundamental consumer truth: people have idle cash that's waiting to do more.

Everything else is built from there.

Mike shares how we think about building Stoa.

Growth isn't just about adding more.
It's about creating more value for everyone involved.

For customers, that means a wider range of perks. For banks and merchants, it means a smarter, more sustainable way to reach new audiences.

That's the future Sam is excited to build.

Some ideas get attention.
Others earn conviction.

Our investors didn't just back a product, they backed a vision for giving people more value from their idle cash and rethinking what's possible in the savings market.

Sam shares why that vision resonated.

Every company starts with a problem worth solving.

Ours was simple.
People had idle cash. But very few rewarding ways to put it to work.

Mike shares the thinking that became the foundation of Stoa.

What stays with you is how it feels.

Behind Stoa | Episode 7

What does this funding allow us to do?

Build bigger.

It gives us the opportunity to bring together exceptional people, keep innovating and take Stoa's mission from the UK & US to the world.

Everything we've shared over the last few episodes comes back to one belief: people deserve more value from their idle cash.

And for us...
This is just the beginning.

Thanks for following…More from Behind Stoa coming soon. Stay tuned

Behind Stoa | Episode 6
Some of the biggest startup myths?

That raising less automatically means building better.
And that moving fast means shipping anything.

We believe great companies are built differently.

For us, success comes from surrounding yourself with exceptional people and building a product you're proud to put in front of customers.

Mike and Sam share why that's been our approach from day one.

Behind Stoa | Episode 5

Every product starts with a belief.

Ours is simple:
People shouldn't have to settle for limited choices when it comes to their money.

We built Stoa to give people another way to put their idle cash to work, one that creates value they can enjoy today, not just at the end of a fixed term.

This episode is about the ambition that's shaping everything we're building.

Behind Stoa | Episode 4

Every startup has a moment where an idea starts to feel real.

Our first customer.
Our first deposit.
Our launch.
Our fundraise.

Each milestone has brought more people into the journey and strengthened our belief that we're building something people genuinely want.

Here's the story behind that moment.

Behind Stoa | Episode 3

A fundraise isn't the destination.
It's the fuel.

With our $2.4M pre-seed round, we're doubling down on what matters most: bringing more innovation to the savings market and giving people more reasons to put their idle cash to work.

Because we're in the business of making your cash happy.

More from Behind Stoa coming tomorrow. Stay tuned

Behind Stoa | Episode 2

Our thinking started with one simple word:
Anyway.

People pay for subscriptions anyway.
People have idle cash anyway.
But for too long, they've had very few interesting ways to put that money to work.

We think people deserve more choices - fun, tangible value they can enjoy today. And that's a problem that exists globally.

That's the idea @mikesaraswat and @Sam789__ unpack in this episode of Behind Stoa.

[Stoa Money @StoaMoney]

The future of cash management is about creating value, not just earning interest.

Our recent $2.4m pre-seed funding round marks another step in that journey.

We're building a platform that helps consumers and businesses unlock upfront benefits from money they already have, while keeping it securely set aside.

It's a simple idea.
Give people more choice in how their money works for them.
