What problem are you solving?
We are solving the problem of companies in the EU depending on American hyperscalers (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud).
Major problems for EU companies include:
- expensive and increasingly unpredictable cost structure
- vendor lock-in
- lack of true data sovereignty and regulatory compliance
- lack of true capability of recovering from cyber-risks and catastrophic outages by themselves
What problem will be solved at the end of what you are doing?
By the time SpaceTime fulfills its mission:
European enterprises and MSPs will have a sovereign, resilient, and predictable cloud storage foundation that does not depend on non-EU hyperscaler backends.
That infrastructure will be cost-efficient and designed for survivability, compliance, and performance even under attack or major cloud outages — safeguarding data continuity on EU terms.
Can you state the problem clearly in two sentences?
Public cloud infrastructure is dominated by US-based hypersclaers, exposing European businesses to unpredictable costs, foreign legal access, and systemic risks.
SpaceTime solves this by delivering a sovereign, resilient, and affordable alternative that meets EU regulatory, security, and operational requirements.
Have you experienced the problem yourself?
Yes. The founding team’s origin story reflects first-hand exposure to the fragility of early internet and cloud data approaches — one founder preferred physically shipping hard drives because the cloud wasn’t reliable enough for critical data.
Can you define this problem narrowly?
EU-based Managed Service Providers and enterprises lack a sovereign, cost-predictable, and cyber-resilient storage platform that meets evolving EU regulation (Data Act, GDPR, NIS2) and reduces dependency on non-EU hyperscalers for critical data workloads.
US Cloud Act combined with the invalidation of EU-US Privacy Shield after the Schrems II ruling makes all of us vulnerable for foreign influences.
Who can you help first?
1. Local MSPs who need a competitive, EU-compliant storage backbone to serve their clients.
2. Companies in the audiovisual sector needing secure, compliant and cost-efficient data storage and our SpaceStudio - service
3. Regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, finance, government) where compliance and data sovereignty are non-negotiable.
What can we address immediately?
- Launch and scale DataOcean as a sovereign storage baseline for MSPs and enterprises (backups, archives)
- Demonstrate transparent, predictable pricing with no hidden fees or vendor-lock triggers.
- Enable companies in the audiovisual sector with our SpaceStudio combined with DataOcean for secure, real-time remote working capabilities
How do we get the first indication this thing is working?
First MSP clients and media studios signup start using our services.
