# News: Agent-cloud startup Daytona raises $60M Series B at a $1B valuation

> Daytona Platforms announced a $60 million Series B at a $1 billion valuation on 23 October 2026, led by FirstMark Growth with angels including Patrick Collison, Tobi Lütke, Aravind Srinivas, Eric Yuan, Olivier Pomel and Adam D'Angelo, plus Qualcomm Ventures, Samsung Next and Okta Ventures.

## What it means for buyers

Specialist infrastructure for agent workloads attracting a 17x valuation-to-total-funding multiple signals where the coding-agent layer is heading: more agent hours running in disposable sandboxes, whether self-hosted (Cursor's worker model) or rented. For teams running CLI agents like Codex, OpenCode or Claude Code at volume, expect managed sandbox offerings to bundle with the tools themselves; the buyer-relevant fact today is direction, not pricing, which Daytona has not published.
