Impossible Cloud

About

Impossible Cloud is a Hamburg-based cloud storage provider founded in 2021 by serial entrepreneurs who previously built a billion-euro technology company. The company offers an S3-compatible object storage platform designed for businesses that need enterprise-grade performance alongside strict data sovereignty and GDPR compliance. Its infrastructure runs across certified European data centers, with operations also extended to the United States.

The platform is fully compatible with the S3 API and integrates with more than 200 backup and cloud solutions, making it straightforward to adopt within existing workflows. More than 3,000 companies use the service. Impossible Cloud structures its pricing around transparency: there are no egress fees, no API charges, and no lock-in periods - a deliberate contrast to the pricing models of large hyperscalers.

The company positions itself as a partner-first business, working through a channel of resellers and solution providers rather than selling exclusively direct. It invests millions annually in storage innovation and targets organizations across B2B cloud, enterprise storage, backup and archival, and any sector where digital sovereignty and independence from US-based cloud providers are priorities.
