United States · Industrial tech · AI · Logistics

Bloom connects hardware companies with manufacturing, logistics and after-sales service providers through an AI-powered marketplace.

Product

Bloom helps hardware brands find and hire suppliers across manufacturing, assembly, engineering, freight, warehousing and servicing. Buyers can post opportunities, providers can bid, and the platform handles quoting, booking and payment.

The Detroit company was founded in 2023 and initially focused on helping mobility businesses manage difficult supply-chain work. It shifted toward a marketplace as demand broadened to robotics, drones and other hardware sectors.

Bloom combines information supplied by providers with data from sourcing and completed transactions to improve matching. Its business model includes membership fees from hardware brands and transaction fees when providers are paid.
