Growth Operations, New Verticals

About us

Garage is building the platform that powers commerce across America's essential industries. We started by serving fire departments, where buying mission-critical vehicles and equipment used to take months of paperwork, phone calls, and waiting. We automate the entire transaction: payments, freight, paperwork, warranty, and financing. Months become minutes.

In under a year, we now serve local governments across all 50 states and have grown revenue >10x. We recently closed a $13.5M Series A ($18M total raised) from Infinity Ventures, Y Combinator, Initialized Capital, FJ Labs, and other top investors. We're early, we're moving fast, and we're just getting started.
