Summary
Garage builds an AI-powered marketplace for fire departments and municipalities to buy and sell used vehicles and equipment. Founded by Martin Hunt and Alaz Sengul, who met at Columbia, they automate appraisals, payments, paperwork, freight, warranty, and financing to reduce transactions from months to minutes. Martin joined his local fire department as a volunteer in 2015 and experienced the broken process firsthand when his department sold equipment through Facebook groups and word of mouth. They've raised $18M from Y Combinator, Initialized Capital, Infinity Ventures, and FJ Labs.
