Stord nabs $250M Series F to scale AI‑driven commerce infrastructure

E‑commerce logistics and commerce infrastructure company Stord has raised $250 million in a Series F funding round, valuing the Atlanta-based startup at $3 billion. The round, announced on May 26, 2026, roughly doubles the company’s valuation from about $1.5 billion a year earlier and brings total funding since its 2015 founding to more than $775 million. Stord describes its platform as a vertically integrated fulfillment, warehousing, transportation, and software stack for DTC and B2B brands, designed to function as a physical intelligence layer for commerce.

The Series F round was led by existing investor Strike Capital, with participation from other existing backers including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Franklin Templeton, Baillie Gifford, G Squared, Bond, and Lux. Stord plans to use the new capital to accelerate AI, robotics, and automation capabilities across its nearly 100-facility network, including the launch of Stord Labs, an internal hub focused on deploying agentic AI and advanced robotics on real fulfillment data and workflows. By combining physical infrastructure with software and a large operational dataset, Stord aims to give independent brands Amazon‑like logistics capabilities and shorten technology deployment cycles across the commerce supply chain.

The funding underscores continued investor appetite for logistics and fulfillment technology that can help brands manage rising expectations around fast, reliable delivery without building their own nationwide networks. With this latest round, Stord strengthens its position as one of the most heavily funded logistics-tech companies, positioning itself as a potential IPO candidate while pushing the sector toward more data-driven and automated fulfillment models.
