Daytona Raises $60M, Hits $1B Valuation for Agent Cloud
Daytona raises a $60 million Series B at a $1 billion valuation to build cloud infrastructure for long-running agents across multiple operating systems.
Summary
New York-based Daytona Platforms announced a $60 million Series B at a $1 billion valuation on Friday, October 23, 2026, lifting its total funding to $91 million three years after launch. FirstMark Growth led the round after leading Daytona’s $24 million Series A in February. Participants include Qualcomm Ventures, Samsung Next, Okta Ventures, Stripe’s Patrick Collison, Shopify’s Tobi Lütke, Perplexity’s Aravind Srinivas, Zoom’s Eric Yuan, Datadog’s Olivier Pomel, Quora’s Adam D’Angelo, who serves on OpenAI’s board, and Mercor’s Brendan Foody.
Founder and CEO Ivan Burazin, chief architect Goran Draganić and CTO Vedran Jukic are building cloud infrastructure for long-running agents. Burazin says conventional clouds support long-lived services rather than agents that initiate thousands of short, stateful jobs without advance planning. Daytona gives each agent a computer-like sandbox offering Linux, Windows, macOS, GPUs and other services through one platform. Revenue, customer, deployment and performance figures were not disclosed.
