Overview
- Stord announced Tuesday that it closed a $250 million Series F led by Strike Capital at a $3 billion valuation, bringing total capital raised to roughly $775 million.
- The company opened a 10,000-square-foot Stord Labs at its Atlanta headquarters to test agentic AI, robotics and automation in real warehouse conditions before wider rollout.
- Stord says the new funding will be used to accelerate AI, robotics, software engineering and expansion of its owned and partner fulfillment footprint.
- The business runs a unified software-and-warehouse model that processes more than $15 billion in annual gross merchandise value for over 1,000 customers across nearly 100 locations and has grown through acquisitions such as Ware2Go, Shipwire and the Pitney Bowes fulfillment unit.
- By combining its proprietary WMS/OMS, automation tests and a national network, Stord aims to give brands an alternative to Amazon that can cut parcel costs and speed delivery, and investors view the round as a step toward a possible public offering.
