Company Overview
About Garage
Garage is a San Francisco-based B2G marketplace digitizing the procurement of emergency vehicles and equipment for municipalities, fire departments, and government agencies — providing AI-powered vehicle appraisals, virtual inspections, integrated freight logistics, warranties, and financing for fire trucks, ambulances, aerial platforms, and rescue equipment that cost $500,000-$2 million per unit and were previously transacted through manual, relationship-based processes. Founded by Martin Hunt and Alaz Sengul and backed with $18 million raised including a $13.5 million Series A led by Infinity Ventures and a $4.5 million seed led by Initialized Capital, Garage modernizes a market where municipalities relied on dealer relationships and opaque pricing.
Business Model & Competitive Advantage
Garage's platform addresses the information asymmetry in emergency vehicle procurement: fire departments and municipalities typically buy one fire truck every 10-20 years — department chiefs lack the market pricing knowledge to evaluate dealer quotes, and the transaction is too infrequent for experienced institutional buying. Garage's AI appraisal engine provides real-time market valuations for used emergency vehicles based on comparable sales, age, mileage, service history, and equipment configuration — enabling buyers to assess fair market value before committing. Virtual inspection reports (standardized photos, condition reports, maintenance history) replace in-person site visits that were impractical for geographically distributed buyers. The integrated financing and warranty programs complete the transaction without requiring buyers to arrange financing separately.
Competitive Landscape 2025–2026
In 2025, Garage competes in the government vehicle procurement and fleet management market with online auction platforms (GovPlanet, Iron Planet) and traditional dealer networks for emergency vehicle transactions. The government procurement market for specialized vehicles ($10+ billion annually in the US for emergency services) has been poorly served by digital platforms — most transactions still occur through direct dealer relationships or specification-based competitive bids that favor established regional dealers. Initialized Capital's backing reflects conviction in digitizing government procurement. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing the marketplace's inventory of new and used emergency vehicles, building the specification-to-procurement workflow that helps fire departments define requirements and manage the competitive bid process, and expanding to additional government fleet categories (police vehicles, public works equipment).
