Impossible Cloud is a Hamburg-based enterprise cloud storage provider offering sovereign, S3-compatible object storage built on a decentralized architecture, positioning itself as a GDPR-aligned European alternative to AWS and other hyperscalers. Founded in 2021 by serial entrepreneurs including CEO Dr. Kai Wawrzinek (co-founder of Goodgame Studios, which reached $1B in revenue), the company has grown rapidly to serve over 3,000 businesses across 15+ European countries. It raised a $7.6M seed round in March 2023 led by HV Capital and 1kx, followed by a Series A from NGP Capital in May 2025, bringing total funding to approximately $19.5M. The platform differentiates through transparent pricing, full data sovereignty under European law, ransomware protection, and seamless integration with existing backup and data management tools.
