ShipHero News

I am excited to announce that ShipHero has raised a funding of $50 million from investor, Riverwood Capital, which will propel our expansion. I am pleased to say that this enables us to serve you even faster, and better - empowering you to achieve growth with your ecommerce business.

This is our first institutional capital and values ShipHero at $225 million. All the funds went into the company, no employees sold stock as part of this transaction and I will retain majority ownership and control of the company. 

Where we are today.
ShipHero serves over $5 billion in annual ecommerce orders for thousands of merchants. Over 30,000 merchant employees use ShipHero to do their job every day. We take our responsibility to provide a high quality solution for ecommerce fulfillment seriously. We put our customers first and work to continuously improve ShipHero by offering new features and enhancements that elevate how people define a warehouse management system; quality and reliability are paramount.
