Daytona Platforms secured $60 million in a Series B funding round on Friday, pushing the three-year-old startup to a $1 billion valuation. FirstMark Growth led the new financing, bringing the New York-based company's total funding to $91 million. The round drew investments from corporate venture arms including Qualcomm Ventures, Samsung Next, and Okta Ventures.
A prominent group of individual investors also joined, according to Daytona, featuring Stripe chief Patrick Collison, Shopify head Tobi Lütke, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas, Zoom leader Eric Yuan, Datadog chief Olivier Pomel, Quora head Adam D'Angelo, and Mercor founder Brendan Foody. FirstMark previously led Daytona's $24 million Series A round in February.
Daytona builds cloud infrastructure tailored for long-running software agents. Founder Ivan Burazin explained in a blog post that agents spin up thousands of short, stateful jobs that traditional cloud systems were not designed to handle. The startup's platform provides each agent with its own computer system. These environments include sandboxed access to Linux, Windows, macOS, and graphics processing units on a single platform.
