“Moov now has extended beyond being a mere marketplace to truly provide an end-to-end technology for buying and selling used semiconductor manufacturing equipment,” said Steven Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Moov, in a statement.
“If we’re looking to buy a system, the first thing we do is go online to search the Moov platform for the tool we need,” said Tal Levin, vice president of sales and technology at Arizona-headquartered Green Technology Investments LLC.
“We’re already harnessing the massive amount of data we have on the used equipment market and transactions to improve the customer experience,” said Zhou. “Right now, that means a stronger, smarter search experience on our marketplace, and customer-facing features like personalized asset and content suggestions. In the future, the possibilities for this data are endless when it comes to applying AI and machine learning to create a better, smarter and more personalized customer experience, as well as a more transparent secondary equipment market.”
Moov is a startup, founded in 2018, has raised more than $45 million to date, closing a $41 million Series A funding round led by Tiger Global in November (seeOnline semiconductor equipment broker Moov raises more funds).
