Protonet GmbH is a german company based in Hamburg. It claims to have built the simplest server of the world. Their initial product is a small orange server that isn't much bigger than two stacked shoe boxes and is equipped with passive cooling; which means it is desktop friendly due to the minimal noise. Protonet is the brainchild of its founders Ali Jelveh and Christopher Blum, who started working on the concept of a private cloud while they were still working as programmers at Xing (Germany's leading social network for professionals) in 2009. In July 4th 2013 Protonet reached a major milestone; as they launched their current operating system called SOUL. In January 2013 Protonet made history as it had the fastest crowd-funding campaign in Europe. The crowd-funding campaign was launched in Seedmatch (one of Germany's leading crowdinvesting portals) reaching its goal of €100k in 12 minutes and subsequently reaching its funding limit of €200k in 48 minutes. This reckord was only broken one year later by a full-sized multicopter.
