Most Founders Don't Understand Open Source | Ivan Dzido (Daytona)
"Most people actually don't understand what they are signing off to...". In this episode of The Merge, we sit down with Ivan Dzido, CEO of Daytona, to discuss why the traditional "sandbox" is dead and why AI agents need "composable computers" instead.
Ivan reveals how Daytona spins up environments in just 60 milliseconds—including network latency—which is literally half the time it takes a human to blink. We also dive into his $24M Series A, the 15-year history of his founding team, and why he believes the CLI might be a bottleneck for AI productivity.
