Daytona builds a cloud specifically for long‑running software agents, which generate thousands of short, stateful jobs that traditional cloud infrastructures are not optimized for (TechCrunch, “Agent cloud startup Daytona hits $1B valuation backed by FirstMark and a who’s who of angels”, 23 October 2026). The platform gives each agent its own isolated computing environment with sandboxed Linux, Windows, macOS, and GPU resources on a single platform, effectively “giving every agent its own computer” (TechCrunch, “Agent cloud startup Daytona hits $1B valuation backed by FirstMark and a who’s who of angels”, 23 October 2026). This contrasts with conventional cloud services designed for long‑lived services that run continuously without the need for rapid, ad‑hoc provisioning.
