Daytona was originally designed with large enterprises in mind, as they were the ones that motivated the Daytona team to jump into this new venture. Their need to enable developers to automate tasks, collaborate effortlessly, and enhance productivity—all while maintaining security standards these enterprises require, was missing from the market. Fast forward from our last announcement in November 2023 to today – our Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) nearly doubled within just those six months. Showing the need and continued pull from the enterprise market.

As a new board member, Kevin will work alongside our CTO and co-founder, Vedran Jukic, and our CEO and co-founder, Ivan Burazin, to drive our mission forward and ensure we continue to innovate and meet the developer community’s needs.

kevin zhang, partner at upfront ventures said, “We’re thrilled to support the Daytona team’s mission to simplify development environments. Daytona’s vision of simplifying and democratizing development environments aligns perfectly with our investment philosophy. The most forward-thinking companies in the world have landed on cloud developer environments to achieve a uniform developer environment for their teams. The Daytona founders have been working towards this since their prior startup Codeanywhere. Their subject matter expertise and passion uniquely position them to build a beloved developer experience that also satisfies even the strongest security requirements. We’re thrilled to support its mission and look forward to seeing the additional impact the team will have on the developer community.”
