New portfolio alert 🔔 Congratulations to Daytona on their latest $5M seed round! The entire team, including co-founders Ivan Burazin, Vedran Jukic, and Goran Draganić are making it easy to streamline development environments for developers all over the world. CEO Ivan Burazin says, “Setting up a dev environment can feel like starting a car in the 1900s—engaging the handbrake, adjusting the fuel valve, mixture control, spark advance, choke, and throttle, turning the ignition, and often running into issues. With Daytona, it’s like starting a car in 2024: any driver can just push a button and go. Enabling developers to focus on what truly matters—writing code and building innovative solutions” With their recent open-source launch, both enterprises AND individual developers can now enjoy using Daytona to simplify their development environments.
