Voomi Supply has raised $10 million in funding in a round led by Asymmetric Capital Partners.
The company said the funding will support its continued development of its technology platform, expansion of its supplier network and growth into additional product categories. Voomi Supply is a B2B ecommerce platform focused on heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and industrial supply procurement.
Voomi Supply operates a digital purchasing platform that it designed to simplify sourcing across the HVAC and industrial supply markets. The company said its platform provides access to more than 1 million HVAC and industrial parts and equipment SKUs from multiple suppliers through a single online marketplace.
How Voomi Supply will use its $10 million in funding
CEO RJ Cilley said the company designed its platform to streamline purchasing for contractors and other professional buyers. Those buyers often must source products from numerous distributors and manufacturers.
“Voomi Supply was built to modernize purchasing across HVAC and industrial supply markets, delivering simplicity, speed and competitive pricing for buyers while unlocking new sales channels for suppliers,” Cilley said.
The company said its platform uses artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help scale product discovery, catalog management and purchasing workflows as its supplier and customer base grows.
Asymmetric Capital Partners, an early-stage technology investment firm founded in 2021, led the investment. Managing partner Rob Biederman said the firm sees significant opportunity to digitize purchasing in the industrial supply sector.
“Voomi is attacking a massive, fragmented market with a clear vision and strong execution,” Biederman said.
Highmount Capital and investor David Hawkins also participated in the funding round, along with existing investor Operator Partners.
Faron Schonfeld, Andy Chalofsky and Josh Chalofsky founded Voomi Supply. The company said the new capital will support continued hiring, supplier onboarding and technology development. At the same time, it plans to expand its presence across HVAC, plumbing, electrical and broader industrial supply markets.
Technology-driven procurement platforms have drawn increased investor interest as startups seek to modernize how contractors and industrial buyers source products in markets traditionally dominated by local distributors and fragmented supplier networks.
