Daytona, the infrastructure company building programmatic, composable computers for AI agents, announced a $24 million Series A funding round to accelerate development and capacity for its agent-native sandbox technology.

Today's cloud infrastructure, optimized for stateless production workloads, falls short for the dynamic, experimental requirements of agentic AI systems. Daytona introduces sandboxes as a new foundational primitive where CPU, memory, storage, GPU, networking, and the operating system can be configured on demand, started, paused, or snapshotted instantly.
"We believe the next infrastructure shift is from human-centric cloud primitives to agent-native ones," said Matt Turck, Partner at FirstMark. "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."
The platform enables AI agents to explore parallel decision paths, recover from interruptions through snapshots, and execute complex, long-running tasks that demand persistent state—capabilities essential for advanced agent behaviors beyond simple stateless queries.
"We're thrilled to double down in Daytona," said Kevin Zhang, GP at Upfront Ventures and Daytona board member. "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."
With strong early traction across startups and enterprises, Daytona faces immediate demand outpacing current hardware capacity. The new capital will prioritize scaling infrastructure, geographic expansion, team growth, and continued community-driven go-to-market efforts in key developer hubs like San Francisco.
This funding positions Daytona to meet accelerating demand for infrastructure purpose-built for the agentic future, where AI systems require flexible, reliable, and instantly available compute environments to perform at scale.
