Daytona Platforms said it raised a $60 million Series B at a $1 billion valuation, TechCrunch reported Friday, citing a company announcement1.
FirstMark Growth led the round, according to TechCrunch, which said the New York-based startup has now raised $91 million in total1. FirstMark also led Daytona’s $24 million Series A in February, the report said1.
Daytona listed angel investors in the new round including 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, TechCrunch reported1. Qualcomm Ventures, Samsung Next and Okta Ventures were named as participants1.
The three-year-old company is building cloud infrastructure for long-running software agents, TechCrunch said1. Founder Ivan Burazin wrote that agents “spin up thousands of short, stateful jobs nobody planned in advance,” according to the report1. Daytona described its product as giving each agent a computer with sandboxed Linux, Windows, macOS and GPUs on one platform, TechCrunch said1.
TechCrunch did not independently verify the valuation, the full investor list or customer usage, and the company did not detail revenue in the coverage1.
