Daytona, an infrastructure company building programmatic, composable computers for AI agents, has raised $24 million in Series A funding. The round was led by FirstMark Capital, with participation from Pace Capital and existing investors Upfront Ventures, E2VC, and Darkmode, alongside strategic investments from Datadog and Figma Ventures. As part of the financing, FirstMark General Partner Matt Turck joined Daytona’s board of directors.
The company is positioning its core product as a new cloud primitive designed for agentic work: a stateful “sandbox” that can be configured on demand across CPU, memory, storage, GPU, networking and the operating system. Daytona says these sandboxes can be started, paused and snapshotted at any point, enabling agents to preserve state across failures and explore multiple execution paths by forking into parallel branches. The company frames the platform as purpose-built for tasks such as code execution, computer use and reinforcement learning, where iterative experimentation and persistence matter more than the stateless, immutable assumptions of traditional production infrastructure.
Daytona reported reaching a $1 million forward revenue run rate in under three months and then doubling that figure six weeks later. Customers cited by the company range from early-stage Y Combinator startups to Fortune 100 enterprises, including LangChain, Turing, Writer and SambaNova. The company said it is currently constrained by hardware availability and plans to use the new funding to add capacity and expand into new regions.
Hiring is also a near-term focus. Daytona said it is a 20-person team today, and it intends to allocate additional resources to sales and marketing, emphasizing an in-person, community-driven approach such as meetups, hackathons and conferences in San Francisco, where it says many of its customers are concentrated. Daytona is based in New York.
KEY QUOTES
“We believe the next infrastructure shift is from human-centric cloud primitives to agent-native ones. Daytona’s breakthrough is making ‘a computer for every agent’ practical: instant startup, persistent state, and the tooling agents need to write code, use Git, and execute safely at scale. That’s a foundational building block for the agentic economy, and we are thrilled to partner with Ivan, Vedran and the Daytona team.”
Matt Turck, Partner at FirstMark
“We’re thrilled to double down in Daytona. The team’s relentless pace and obsession over developer experience have been truly inspiring to witness, best reflected by the constant activity and customer love in the Daytona Slack and X. It is just the beginning of this new agent era infrastructure opportunity, and we cannot think of a better and more focused team than Daytona to take it on.”
