Stord, a fast-growing commerce infrastructure provider, has secured more than $200 million in new funding, raising its valuation to $1.5 billion. The Series E round was led by Strike Capital, with additional financing from Silicon Valley Bank and ORIX USA. The round also attracted new backers, including Baillie Gifford and NewView Capital, alongside support from existing investors such as Kleiner Perkins and Founders Fund. With this investment, Stord plans to expand its fulfillment and technology operations globally, enhance its software platform, and invest further in artificial intelligence across its product suite. Stord also aims to pursue strategic acquisitions to strengthen its presence in key markets.
Stord’s customers include both rising and established brands that have benefited from faster delivery, improved shipping accuracy, and cost savings, totaling around $130 million in 2024. By combining logistics, software, and operational support into one offering, Stord allows brands to meet growing customer expectations while simplifying their supply chain needs. Sean Henry, Co-Founder and CEO of Stord, highlighted, “Fast and free delivery, easy returns, and full visibility are no longer luxuries; they’re standard consumer expectations. This new funding allows us to double down on our mission to give brands the infrastructure and technology they need to surpass these industry standards, strengthen their margins, and grow on their own terms. We’re excited to keep helping our customers win in an increasingly competitive e-commerce market.”
