About Toma

At Toma, we’re building something unorthodox—a fully AI-driven platform reshaping how 18,000 car dealerships operate nationwide.

Our small team (from ex-Scale AI/Uber founders who’ve never owned cars, to a pro Valorant player, robotics champion, motocross racer, and more) spent months living and breathing dealerships to learn the ropes.
