Bloom raises $3.6M to become the 'Alibaba' of U.S. manufacturing
Detroit-based startup Bloom has successfully raised $3.6 million in a seed funding round led by SNAK Venture Partners. Initially launched to support the mobility sector, the company has pivoted into a pure marketplace model. By leveraging supply chain AI agents, Bloom now connects hardware developers, such as drone and robotics companies, with U.S.-based manufacturers and suppliers. This strategic shift was further accelerated by recent trade tariffs that boosted domestic manufacturing demand.
