Summary
Daytona Platforms, a three-year-old startup, raised $60M Series B at a $1B valuation led by FirstMark Growth, with angels including Stripe's Patrick Collison and Shopify's Tobi Lütke. The company is building an agent cloud for long-running AI agents that need sandboxed Linux, Windows, macOS, and GPU environments for short, stateful jobs. Founder Ivan Burazin argues that agents require a fundamentally different cloud than traditional long-lived services, and Daytona aims to provide that.
