Stord Doubles Valuation to $3 Billion after $250 Million Funding Round
E-commerce logistics firm Stord has made a significant leap in its valuation, more than doubling its worth to $3 billion with a $250 million funding round.
The new funding was led by Strike Capital, with participation from prominent venture capital firms such as Kleiner Perkins and Founders Fund. This latest raise brings Stord's total funding to around $775 million, with the company's valuation increasing from $1.5 billion in 2025.
Founding and Growth
Stord was founded in 2015 by CEO Sean Henry and CTO Jacob Boudreau, both then-college students at Georgia Tech. The company quickly gained traction, reaching unicorn status in 2021. Despite the subsequent VC funding winter, Stord managed to survive and raise a $200 million mega round in 2025, led by Strike Capital.
Product and Services
Stord offers a network of physical warehouses and inventory management software for e-commerce companies, positioning itself as an anti-Amazon. The company claims to provide brands with the speed to compete while still owning their customer relationships. With the addition of an AI interface to its software, Stord is gaining attention in the AI age, particularly after being highlighted by Google at the Cloud Next conference in April.
Future Plans
With the new funds, Stord plans to further develop its AI-powered platform, which aims to give brands a competitive edge in the e-commerce market. The company's focus on providing a seamless experience for customers while allowing brands to maintain control over their relationships is expected to be a key driver of its growth in the future.
