Stord Raises $250M at $3B Valuation: An Amazon Alternative in Logistics

U.S.-based company Stord, specializing in e-commerce logistics, has completed a $250M funding round. The startup’s valuation has reached $3B, doubling its figure from a year ago. The lead investor was Strike Capital, joined by Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Franklin Templeton, and other funds.

Founded in 2015 by Georgia Tech students Sean Henry and Jacob Boudreau, Stord develops a network of physical warehouses and inventory management software. The company positions itself as a counterbalance to Amazon, offering brands the ability to compete on delivery speed without losing direct customer interaction. In recent years, the startup has actively integrated artificial intelligence into its products.

Over the past few years, Stord has experienced both rapid growth during the pandemic and a subsequent cooling of the venture market. In 2021, the company achieved unicorn status, and in early 2025, it raised $200M at a $1.5B valuation. Total investments in the startup now exceed $775M. At the Google Cloud Next conference in April, Stord was recognized as one of the promising players in AI-powered logistics.
