E-commerce logistics company Stord has raised a $250 million round at a $3 billion valuation, it announced<\/a> Tuesday. This doubles its valuation from a year-ago round.<\/p>\n The new funding was led by Strike Capital with participation from Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Franklin Templeton, Baillie Gifford, G Squared, and Bond.<\/p>\n Stord was founded in 2015 by then-college students CEO Sean Henry and CTO Jacob Boudreau while they were still at Georgia Tech. It was soaring along, run by the two young founders, through the frothy pandemic-era of VC funding, hitting unicorn status in 2021.<\/a> <\/p>\n The startup survived the subsequent VC funding winter and in 2025, raised a $200 million mega round, also led by Strike Capital, that brought it to a $1.5 billion valuation. It has now raised a total of about $775 million to date.<\/p>\n Stord offers a network of physical warehouses and inventory management software for e-commerce. It bills itself as a sort of anti-Amazon, giving brands \u201cthe speed to compete\u201d while still owning their customer relationships. In this AI age, the Atlanta-based fulfillment startup is gaining attention again, especially after it added an AI interface to its software. It was recently highlighted by Google<\/a> at the tech giant\u2019s Cloud Next conference in April. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
