What happened

On November 10, 2026, New York-based Garage announced a $41 million Series B led by Invus Opportunities, with Infinity Ventures, Initialized Capital, Y Combinator, Benchstrength and FJ Labs participating. The round lifts total funding to $60 million, and the company plans to use it to hire and to expand into new heavy-duty categories such as public works and sanitation.

Garage recently passed $100 million in annual platform sales, growing more than 400% year over year, and serves over 1,000 communities across all 50 states and Canada. It began with used fire trucks, where it became the country's largest source, then added sanitation vehicles. Co-founder and CEO Martin Hunt is a former firefighter and EMT who later worked at Goldman Sachs; he started the company in late 2023 with CTO Alaz Sengul. Moving into new verticals means reaching new buyer groups within local government and private operators.

Overview

Garage runs an AI-powered online marketplace for buying and selling used essential heavy equipment, including fire engines, garbage trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles. Its customers are local governments, fire departments and private operators, who use the platform both to sell surplus assets and to buy pre-owned equipment at far lower cost than new. The company serves communities in all 50 states and Canada and aims to bring a fragmented, largely offline secondary market onto a digital platform. It is headquartered in New York City.
