E-commerce logistics company Stord announced on May 26, 2026 that it has raised $250 million in new funding at a $3 billion valuation — double its valuation from a round completed just a year prior.
The round was led by Strike Capital, with participation from Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Franklin Templeton, Baillie Gifford, G Squared, and Bond. The company has now raised approximately $775 million in total funding.
Stord was founded in 2015 by CEO Sean Henry and CTO Jacob Boudreau while both were students at Georgia Tech. The Atlanta-based company reached unicorn status in 2021 during the pandemic-era surge in venture capital activity, then navigated the subsequent funding downturn. In 2025, it raised a $200 million round — also led by Strike Capital — that valued it at $1.5 billion.
The company operates a network of physical warehouses paired with inventory management software for e-commerce brands. It positions itself as an alternative to Amazon’s fulfillment infrastructure, offering brands tools to manage their own customer relationships while competing on delivery speed.
Stord has recently drawn renewed attention after adding an AI interface to its software platform. The company was highlighted by Google at its Cloud Next conference in April 2026, suggesting the AI additions may be contributing to its rising profile among enterprise technology buyers.
The latest raise signals continued investor confidence in fulfillment infrastructure as a competitive space for e-commerce brands seeking options outside Amazon’s ecosystem.
