Daytona Platforms, a New York company, raised $60 million in a Series B that values it at $1 billion. FirstMark Growth led the round; it had also led a $24 million Series A in February. Total funding now stands at $91 million.
The three-year-old firm offers cloud services for AI agents that operate over extended periods. Each agent gets a sandboxed machine with access to Linux, Windows, macOS, and GPUs. Investors include founders from Stripe, Shopify, Perplexity, Zoom, Datadog, Quora, and Mercor, as well as Qualcomm Ventures, Samsung Next, and Okta Ventures.
Daytona’s funding may accelerate a cloud model tailored to persistent AI agents, potentially affecting developers, cloud providers, and businesses deploying automation. Easier sandboxed access to multiple operating systems and GPUs could lower barriers for teams building agent-based tools, while raising questions about security, resource use, and oversight as more autonomous software runs continuously. Workers and consumers may encounter such agents in customer service, software development, and operations, with benefits and risks depending on how reliably and transparently they are deployed.
