E-commerce logistics startup Stord has secured a new $250 million funding round, pushing the company’s valuation to $3 billion. The latest financing doubles the company’s valuation from its previous funding round, completed just one year ago.
The investment round was led by Strike Capital and included participation from several major investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Franklin Templeton, Baillie Gifford, G Squared, and Bond.
Stord was founded in 2015 by CEO Sean Henry and CTO Jacob Boudreau while both were students at Georgia Institute of Technology. The Atlanta-based company quickly gained momentum during the surge in venture capital funding that accompanied the pandemic-era growth of e-commerce businesses, eventually achieving unicorn status in 2021.
Despite the subsequent slowdown in venture funding, Stord continued to expand its operations and, in 2025, raised a separate $200 million funding round led by Strike Capital, valuing the company at $1.5 billion. With the latest investment, Stord has now raised approximately $775 million in total funding since its launch.
The company operates a network of warehouses and offers inventory management and fulfilment software designed for e-commerce businesses. Stord positions itself as an alternative to large marketplace ecosystems like Amazon by helping brands manage logistics while maintaining direct control over their customer relationships.
As artificial intelligence becomes more integrated into logistics and supply chain operations, Stord has attracted renewed industry attention after adding AI-powered tools and interfaces to its software platform. Earlier this year, the company was also highlighted by Google at Google Cloud’s Cloud Next conference in April, further increasing its visibility within the technology and e-commerce sectors.
