PartsTech – an industry-leading B2B parts marketplace for the auto repair industry – announced it has closed a Series C capital raise of $35 million. This funding round was led by OpenView, a renowned venture capital firm known for its deep expertise in scaling high-growth technology companies.
The company – which was founded by CEO Greg Kirber – has been revolutionizing the automotive repair industry since its inception. And the platform offers a comprehensive e-commerce solution that currently connects more than 15,000 repair shops to 30,000 supplier locations, which accelerates the parts-sourcing process and expedites vehicle repair.
With the funding from OpenView, PartsTech plans to expand its platform to enable repair facilities to source 100% of their aftermarket parts, tires, and original equipment (OE) parts all through its total procurement solution. And this investment accelerates PartsTech’s ability to attract and hire top talent, develop industry-leading technology solutions, and strengthen its level of commitment to customers and partners.
Along with OpenView, PartsTech’s existing investors include Insight Partners and BP Ventures.
KEY QUOTES:
