Stord has raised $250M at a $3B valuation. For decades, one company has owned the physical experience of commerce. Every brand that isn’t Amazon has been building around that gap. Today that changes. The physical intelligence layer for independent commerce is here. stord.com/blog/the-physical-…

77% of consumers say they think more favorably of brands that invest in well-designed packaging. Yet only 36% of e-commerce brands include an insert or sample inside the box. That's an exponential gap when you consider that the box is one of the few moments where a customer has a brand’s undivided attention.

A first-time buyer often receives the same insert as someone placing their sixth order. A VIP gets the same message as a customer who purchased once during a promotion. Much of the customer intelligence that shapes the digital experience never makes it into the physical one. In our latest blog, Sr. Product Manager Anna Khomenko explores why the post-purchase physical experience is one of the most underleveraged channels in commerce, and what the brands pulling ahead are doing differently.

20 to 40% of subscription churn isn't customers leaving. It's failed payments, missed pauses, and systems that don't talk to each other. Our Senior PM Sean Sandrock on what's actually driving it, and why fixing it starts with fulfillment, not billing. stord.com/blog/prevent-subsc…

Today, we're releasing a new product: Subscriptions High-growth brands are doubling down on subscriptions. Recurring revenue compounds in a way that one-time orders do not. The hard part is getting billing, storefront, and fulfillment to agree with each other. Stord Subscriptions runs all three as one system. No subscriber falls through the cracks. stord.com/subscriptions

We're honored to share that Stord has landed on the @Inc 5000 2026 list for the SIXTH consecutive year. Few companies get there once, let alone six years running. We got here building both the global fulfillment network and the AI-powered technology behind it, tested first at Stord Labs before it reaches any independent brand. This is what sustained, competitive growth looks like. Thank you to every brand, partner, and Stordian who makes this possible.

Most brands treat fulfillment as the back-end of commerce. Customers experience it as the front-end of their next decision. What happens inside our network, how fast a package ships, how reliably it arrives, how cleanly a return gets processed… It determines CAC payback, repeat purchase rate, and whether LTV ever justifies the cost of acquisition. Delivery is a growth lever most brands have never had the tools to pull. We've spent a decade building the physical infrastructure, the vertically integrated software, and the AI layer that powers fulfillment for over 1,000 brands. That foundation lets us see something most fulfillment partners can't. The brands winning on lifetime value, conversion, and repeat purchase are the ones connecting their physical execution directly to their commerce experience, not treating them as separate functions managed by separate vendors. Engage, Unbox, and the broader Commerce software suite are how we operationalize that belief. One platform, from the moment a customer decides to buy to the moment the product is in their hands. Fulfillment has always been the front-end of commerce. This is the logical extension of everything we've built. The more Stord operates at the layer connecting physical execution to commerce outcomes, the less we are a fulfillment partner and the more we are the infrastructure powering the growth of every independent brand. Every order is a front-end growth signal most brands have never had access to. The most durable position in commerce is owning what happens between the order and the door, not the storefront or the checkout. Stord owns that layer, and we're extending it forward for brands of all sizes.

The Stord Summer Roadshow hits two cities today. In Denver, we're at Newtopia Happy Hour. In San Diego, the Cart Stars Dinner. Same night, same goal: sit down with the operators and founders actually building independent commerce, city by city, all summer long. This is the road trip we've been building toward: invite-only stops with the brands and partners shaping what comes after checkout. Want to join us at one of our next stops? Email events@stord.com.

Stord's mission of customer obsession means knowing exactly what a shopper wants, not making a best guess.

Amazon can deliver for $4 to $5 in a day. Before Stord, most brands couldn’t come close to that.

After dropping out of Georgia Tech at 19, Sean and his co-founder Jacob Boudreau made a bet: independent brands (and their customers) deserve the same delivery experience as the biggest retailers in the world.
