Y Combinator announced that Garage (W24) raised a $41M Series B. The startup builds a national marketplace for trucks and heavy equipment like fire engines and garbage trucks — new fire trucks can cost $2M and take years, while sellers used to get scrap prices at local auctions.
- Over 90% of sales cross state lines, with instant freight quotes by ZIP code.
- South Charleston, WV budgeted a few hundred thousand dollars from surplus sales but brought in $1.2M via Garage.
- 1,000+ communities across all 50 states now use it, with equipment sales topping $100M a year.
