Logistics Firm Stord Nabs $250M to Help Brands Take On Amazon
The e-commerce logistics startup has now raised about $775 million total as it expands warehouse and inventory software for brands.
- On Tuesday, e-commerce logistics company Stord announced a $250 million Series F funding round at a $3 billion valuation, led by Strike Capital with participation from Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Franklin Templeton, Baillie Gifford, G Squared, and Bond.
- Stord's revenue has grown approximately 10x over four years, with acceleration beginning in 2023 roughly six months after ChatGPT's launch, while software bookings more than doubled quarter over quarter in Q1 2026.
- Alongside the funding, Stord Labs—a 10,000-square-foot testing facility at its Atlanta headquarters—enables validation of AI and robotics against real orders before deploying across nearly 100 warehouses processing over $15 billion annually for more than 1,000 customers.
- Investment will expand fulfillment footprint and grow the workforce of more than 4,000 employees, with over 200 dedicated to software engineering, product, data science and physical infrastructure, while advancing AI and robotics to reduce costs and accelerate delivery speeds.
- Amazon controls roughly 40 per cent of U.S. e-commerce, leaving independent brands struggling to match delivery capabilities built over decades, positioning Stord as an alternative to marketplace surrender despite significant execution challenges at the $3 billion valuation scale.
