E-commerce logistics provider Stord raised $250 million in Series F funding, valuing the company at $3 billion. Strike Capital led the round, which brings total capital raised since 2015 to over $775 million. The company's valuation doubled in 12 months. The Atlanta-based firm serves more than 1,000 customers, ranging from small direct-to-consumer brands to enterprise clients, offering fulfillment, last-mile delivery, returns management and inventory software across a network of regional warehouses. Stord has completed eight acquisitions in six years, including Shipwire from Ceva Logistics in January and Ware2Go from UPS. The company also acquired a former Quiet Logistics facility in Dallas this year. Stord positions itself as a technology-driven alternative to Amazon fulfillment, allowing independent retailers to maintain customer relationships and data control while competing on speed and reliability.
