The Company You’ll Join
At Garage, we’re on a mission to ensure the vehicles—like firetrucks—and equipment that keep communities safe reach the people who need them faster, smarter, and more efficiently. By turning months of manual processes into minutes with our AI-powered marketplace, we help protect communities, save taxpayer dollars, and strengthen the industries that keep America running.
We've raised $18M to date, and are backed by Y Combinator, Initialized Capital, Infinity Ventures, FJ Labs, and other leading investors.
