Stord, an Atlanta, GA-based consumer experience company, has raised $250 million in a Series F funding round by Strike Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Franklin Templeton, Baillie Gifford, G Squared, Bond, and Lux, among others. The company is valued at $3 Billion valuation.
The company plans to use the funding to grow its operations and support further product development.
Stord Labs is a research facility located at the company’s headquarters in Atlanta, where Stord develops and tests AI, robotics, and advanced automation using real customer orders and live operating systems.
The company can quickly deploy successful technologies across its network of nearly 100 facilities without needing additional integration. Stord believes the future of physical intelligence must be tested in real operational environments rather than simulations or product demos.

The combination of physical infrastructure, integrated technology, and a large data network gives Stord a growing competitive advantage. By training AI models using live fulfillment data from nearly 100 facilities, $15 billion in annual GMV, and 8 billion data points each year, the company is able to make its network smarter, faster, and more efficient over time. Stord Labs is where this continuous improvement and innovation takes place.
"Commerce infrastructure gets built once. From our earliest conversations with Sean Henry, it was clear Stord was assembling something rare: software, physical infrastructure, and AI combined in a way that turns fulfillment into a competitive advantage rather than a cost center. We believe the rise of agentic purchasing will increasingly favor platforms where software and physical operations are deeply integrated. Stord is building that infrastructure. That is why Strike is proud to deepen our partnership in this round, "said John Lagomarsino, Strike Capital.

"For years, every independent brand has been left to figure out on its own how to compete against the consumer experience Amazon has spent decades and hundreds of billions building. By every measure, independent brands have been losing. Stord exists to level that playing field. We give independent brands the complete commerce stack: the fulfillment network, software, and AI, to deliver a consumer experience that surpasses Prime. Our vertical integration and scaled network create compounding advantages that deliver better, faster, cheaper outcomes with every order we touch. As AI and physical intelligence advance across our platform, that advantage for our customers is rapidly accelerating, "said Sean Henry, Founder and CEO of Stord."
"We believed in that vision when Kleiner Perkins first backed Stord in 2019, and our conviction has only grown as Stord turns fulfillment into a source of speed, clarity, and customer trust, "said Ilya Fushman, Partner, Kleiner Perkins.
