Share Impossible Cloud, the revolutionary cloud platform that offers decentralized, multi-service cloud solutions, announced a heavily oversubscribed €7 million Seed round co-led by HV Capital and 1kx, and joined by Protocol Labs, TS Ventures, and very early Ventures. In addition to capital contributed by the founders, the Seed round brings the company’s funding to date to more than €10 million (approximately $10.9 million).

Impossible Cloud secures €7m Seed round to bring its decentralized, enterprise-grade multi-cloud platform to market. #DecentralizedStorage #Web3 Impossible Cloud’s platform supports an almost unlimited capacity of storage; it is designed for 100% durability and without any single point of failure, guaranteeing 99.95% availability above industry standard. Additionally, it can provide access to a global network of enterprise-grade storage hubs, enabling reliable performance and efficiency near the customer’s edge. Impossible Cloud will be the first decentralized, enterprise-grade cloud platform offering a comprehensive suite of services backed by a fiat-based payment system and business model catering to B2B customers. This revolutionary approach delivers the key benefits of web3 technology, including increased speed, affordability and security, without the need to transact with tokens or cryptocurrency. “Our ultimate goal is to create a decentralized, cost-effective, enterprise-grade cloud platform that will revolutionize the way businesses utilize cloud services, providing enhanced efficiency, elasticity, and security,” said Kai Wawrzinek, Co-Founder of Impossible Cloud. The company ensures the highest level of security and compliance by combining the intrinsic benefits of web3 security with industry-leading security protocols, and by operating out of enterprise-grade data centers that are fully compliant with standards such as ISO27000, SOC 2 Type II, and many more.
