Daytona raises $60 million to give every AI agent a computer

The angel investors include Eric Yuan of Zoom, Patrick Collison of Stripe, Aravind Srinivas of Perplexity, Tobi Lütke of Shopify and Adam D’Angelo of Quora, with Samsung Next, Okta Ventures and Qualcomm Ventures as strategic backers. Daytona’s total raised is now $91 million, its announcement says.

A Daytona machine boots in milliseconds and is gone when the job ends; in between it can be paused with its work saved or copied many times over, which suits agents that launch thousands of brief tasks. Daytona says it is the only provider to offer GPU, macOS, Windows and Linux sandboxes (sealed-off machines) in one place.

Hourly GPU rental is the older model. Of eight GPU clouds on our price table, read 24 October 2026, Runpod’s Community Cloud lists the lowest RTX 4090 rate, at $0.34 an hour, and an H100 at $1.99.

Daytona’s machines start in milliseconds and vanish when the job ends, while the clouds on our table rent a card by the hour, from $0.34 for an RTX 4090; Daytona’s announcement gives no prices, so its per-job cost cannot yet be set against that rate.
