Daytona Hits $1B Valuation With FirstMark-Led Series B for Agent Cloud

Daytona Platforms announced a $60 million Series B round at a $1 billion valuation. The round was led by FirstMark Growth, and the company says it has now raised $91 million in total. The fundraise places Daytona among startups drawing attention for infrastructure built around agent workloads.

FirstMark also led Daytona’s $24 million Series A in February, according to the article. Daytona says the latest round includes angel investors such as 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, and Mercor’s Brendan Foody. Qualcomm Ventures, Samsung Next, and Okta Ventures are also named as participants.

The New York-based, three-year-old startup is building a cloud specifically for long-running agents. Founder Ivan Burazin wrote that agents “spin up thousands of short, stateful jobs nobody planned in advance” and need cloud infrastructure designed for that pattern. Daytona says its platform is like giving every agent its own computer, with access to sandboxed versions of Linux, Windows, macOS, GPUs, and other services on one platform.

The raise underscores investor interest in infrastructure tailored to agent-based software rather than traditional long-lived services. For technical teams, the key takeaway is to watch how platforms handle short, stateful, sandboxed jobs at scale. For startup watchers, Daytona’s round is another signal that agent infrastructure is becoming a distinct fundraising category.
