Detroit, October 08, 2026 — Bloom, the AI-native marketplace for hardware supply chains, announced an oversubscribed $3.6 million seed round led by SNAK Venture Partners, with participation from Flyover Capital, Mana Ventures, Detroit Venture Partners (DVP), Family VC, Invest Detroit Ventures (IDV), the Michigan Outdoor Innovation Fund (MOIF), TechNexus and Service Provider Capital (SPC).
Bloom replaces slow, network-driven procurement with a single marketplace for hardware teams seeking engineering, manufacturing, logistics or after-sales service partners. More than 140 hardware companies have used Bloom, completing more than 2,000 successful matches; each completed job improves future matching on the platform.
Bloom structures requests, matches them against vetted providers and supports quoting, booking and payment so companies do not have to run months-long searches for contract manufacturers, freight partners or service networks.
Bloom to expand BloomPay and agentic booking
Bloom said it will use the new capital to expand its business development team to bring more brands and providers onto the platform, grow BloomPay—its embedded payments and financing product—so brands can pay on terms and providers get paid faster, and scale agentic booking, with AI agents handling more of the intake, matching, quoting, negotiating and scheduling that are done manually today.
“I spent years doing this the hard way, moving my prior company’s production from China to Detroit,” said Justin Kosmides, co-founder and CEO of Bloom. “Hardware companies shouldn’t need months and a lucky introduction to find a factory that ships on time. Bloom turns that search into a request, a match to a qualified network and a real booking. This round puts capital behind the marketplace, BloomPay and our agents, so the companies reindustrializing America spend their time on product, not procurement.”
“We see Bloom becoming a category-defining marketplace for the hardware industry,” said Sonia Nagar, co-founder of SNAK Venture Partners. “Early signs of network effects are already there: most brands buy across more than one service category, and providers call Bloom their most productive source of new business. Hardware supply chains have run on ‘do you know a guy’ for decades. Bloom is bringing them online.”
