The Startup That’s Disrupting the Cloud Industry with Christian Kaul
How do you go about disrupting a half a trillion-dollar industry? This is exactly what Christian Kaul, co-founder of Impossible Cloud, seeks to do. Christian’s startup had investors ‘pouring in’ once they reached the funding round, and the company has been growing quickly since its inception in 2021.
This week, we discover how Christian and his team built and grew the disruptive cloud company. We learn about Christian’s background in neuroscience and his eventful startup career which has taken him from roles at Groupon, AirBnB and Goodgame, to launching multiple startups.
Christian shares with us the background of what makes Impossible Cloud different from the big players and why the cloud industry was ripe for disruption. We learn about how the team were able to self-fund the company initially, and their journey with seeking funding.
I also ask Christian how he is able to stay motivated every day and what his number one piece of advice for new entrepreneurs is.
