Daytona Platforms, a New York-based startup focused on cloud infrastructure for software agents, recently raised $60 million in a Series B funding round led by FirstMark Growth, bringing its valuation to $1 billion. This round adds to the company’s previous $31 million in funding, totaling $91 million raised since its founding three years ago. FirstMark also led Daytona’s $24 million Series A in February, demonstrating continued investor confidence in its growth and vision.

The company is building a specialized cloud tailored to long-running agents, which have distinct infrastructure demands compared to traditional cloud services. Founder Ivan Burazin explains that these agents require thousands of short, stateful jobs that spin up dynamically, unlike the long-lived services current clouds are designed for. Daytona’s platform effectively gives each agent its own dedicated computing environment, supporting sandboxed versions of Linux, Windows, macOS, and GPU access, all within a unified system.

In addition to FirstMark Growth, the Series B round featured prominent angel investors including Stripe CEO Patrick Collison, Shopify founder Tobi Lütke, Perplexity’s Aravind Srinivas, Zoom CEO Eric Yuan, Datadog’s Olivier Pomel, Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo, and Mercor’s Brendan Foody. Corporate venture arms such as Qualcomm Ventures, Samsung Next, and Okta Ventures also participated, reflecting broad industry backing for Daytona’s approach to agent cloud computing.

Daytona aims to revolutionize the way agents operate by providing infrastructure designed specifically for their unique requirements rather than adapting legacy cloud systems. By giving each agent isolated and scalable computing power, the startup hopes to enable more efficient and powerful applications across various industries. The company’s rapid rise to unicorn status underscores strong market interest in next-generation cloud solutions tailored to modern software architectures.
