Garage
Garage is an AI-powered nationwide marketplace for America's most essential vehicles and equipment - fire trucks, ambulances, rescue gear and government surplus. It lets fire departments, municipalities and small businesses buy and sell pricey, specialized assets in minutes instead of months by handling appraisals, payments, paperwork, freight, warranty and financing in one place. Founded in 2023 by Martin Hunt and Alaz Sengul, the Y Combinator-backed company operates in all 50 states and has raised $18M.
Martin Hunt
Martin Hunt is the co-founder and CEO of Garage, an AI-powered marketplace where fire departments, ambulance services, and local governments buy and sell their most expensive gear - fire trucks, ambulances, rescue equipment, and surplus apparatus. A volunteer firefighter at 15 in Delaware who later worked in private equity at Goldman Sachs, Hunt built Garage after a friend in the fire service asked for help unloading old equipment and he found no good way to do it. Out of Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch, Garage now operates across all 50 states and raised a $13.5M Series A in August 2025, bringing total funding to $18M.
