AMW Analysis
Stord operates a "Cloud Supply Chain" platform combining logistics software with a physical network of warehouses and transportation providers, allowing brands to access large-scale fulfillment capabilities without owning infrastructure. Founded in 2015 and based in Atlanta, the company has raised $325.0 million to date, with its Series E ($120.0 million) closing in May 2022 led by Franklin Templeton, and backing from investors including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, BOND, D1 Capital Partners, Salesforce Ventures, and Baillie Gifford.
Recent news flow shows continued expansion of both scale and technology. In January 2026, Stord acquired Shipwire from CEVA Logistics, adding 12 fulfillment centers and extending its footprint into the EU and UK, building on a network spanning 170 countries and supporting two-day delivery to most U.S. households; the deal also brought in Shipwire's AI-driven tools and additional technical hires. In May 2026, Stord raised a $250 million Series F at a $3 billion valuation, up from $1.5 billion a year earlier, with proceeds directed toward deploying Physical AI across its fulfillment network. Together these developments point to a trajectory of network expansion through acquisition paired with increasing integration of AI into fulfillment operations.
