The Daytona Playbook: From $1M to $100M in a Year Daytona went from $1M to $100M in run rate faster than Anthropic and Cursor. Under 4 quarters, with 35 people and zero salespeople. Less than two years ago it had a dead product, a failed Series A and a few months of runway. I wrote about the exact moves that took it from there to a $1B valuation with zero salespeople. How they did it: 1. Killed a working product for Fortune 500 engineers and handed their customers to competitors 2. Sold to every Lovable and Replit clone, then to the coding agents, then to the AI labs 3. Replaced sales wit
