Garage

Garage (operating at shopgarage.com) is a B2B marketplace platform engineered for the rapid acquisition and disposal of specialized emergency vehicles and equipment. Founded in 2023 by Martin Hunt and Alaz Sengul and headquartered in New York, NY, Garage streamlines what would otherwise be a cumbersome, multi-day process into a seamless, seconds-long transaction. The platform aggregates listings from fleet operators, enabling buyers to browse fire trucks, ambulances, tankers, and related hardware in a centralized hub. Under the hood, Garage integrates payments, freight logistics, and financing solutions—eliminating friction for both sellers and buyers. This allows fire departments, rescue squads, and municipal agencies to procure or divest assets efficiently, reducing operational downtime and capital expenditure risks. Backed by Y Combinator, Initialized Capital, Infinity Ventures, FJ Labs, and a roster of 30+ former founders, Garage has raised $18 million to date, positioning itself as a critical enabler for the public safety sector’s asset lifecycle.
