Daytona, a NYC-based open source development environment manager, recently secured $5M in Seed funding. Led by Upfront Ventures and with participation from existing investor 500 EE, the company aims to expand its streamlined development environments globally. Daytona's CEO Ivan Burazin, along with Chef Architect Goran Draganic and CTO Vedran Jukic, are at the helm of this innovative venture.

Daytona optimizes the process of creating standard and secure environments, automates setups on branches, and integrates with clients' IDE or Git provider. Since launching its enterprise developer solution in late 2023, Daytona has seen significant growth, nearly doubling its ARR. The company also introduced an open source version for individual developers, garnering over 5,000 GitHub stars in just two months.

The key to Daytona's success lies in its ability to address the productivity losses caused by inconsistent development environments. By allowing developers to create fully working environments with a single command, "daytona create," the company is revolutionizing the way developers work. CEO Ivan Burazin emphasizes the importance of simplifying development environments to make every developer more productive and remove unnecessary complexities.

Upfront Ventures partner Kevin Zhang commends Daytona for its mission to simplify development environments and create a uniform developer experience. With a focus on both innovation and security, Daytona is poised to become a beloved developer tool that meets the needs of modern development teams.
