While traditional cloud infrastructure has evolved to support static production workloads, the emerging agentic economy is facing a bottleneck due to a lack of environments that are specifically designed for autonomous AI.
Founded in 2023 by Ivan Burazin, Vedran Jukić and Goran Draganić, Daytona offers a specialised infrastructure layer primarily used by AI agents. The platform delivers programmable sandboxes that can be instantly deployed, enabling agents to execute code and navigate complex logic. For instance, it enables agents to fork their environment into multiple branches, testing different outcomes while maintaining a continuous state, even in the event of process failure. These flexible environments offer rapid start-up and integrated version control, allowing agents to operate safely and efficiently at scale.
Daytona has recently finalised a $24 million Series A funding round, led by FirstMark Capital and supported by Pace Capital, Upfront Ventures, E2VC, Darkmode, Figma Ventures, and Datadog. Daytona plans to use the new funding to increase its hardware capacity and expand its engineering team.
