Stord brings on Salesforce and Lineage

Stord, a US-based logistics company, has raised $65m in its series C round from a consortium including Salesforce Ventures, the corporate venturing unit of US-listed sales software platform Salesforce, and international warehousing and logistics company Lineage Logistics.

Venture capital firms, Bond, which led the round, Founders Fund, Susa Ventures and Dynamo also participated.

Stord said its total capital raised in the past six months was now $100m to build out its cloud supply chain.
