We Were Accepted into QSTP. Here’s What Happened After That Email - Proxima Security QSTP
At 5:25 on a Friday morning, an email arrived. After reading it, we asked ourselves one question: what now?
The answer was a one-month sprint.
A month at full throttle
Giving everything we have is how we’ve always worked. In those weeks we raised the bar even higher, and that was only possible because our families stood behind us. They carried a share of the sacrifice that never shows up in any report: the distance, the things given up, the patience. Sebastian was the most exposed. He was at QSTP in person, day after day, while someone back home carried the weight of his absence.
We didn’t expect all of this to end in a win, and when it came, it caught us off guard. Then came gratitude, because we knew what each of those days had cost.
The value of the people you meet along the way
A month like this leaves a mark, and the deepest mark came from the people. We met professionals, founders and teams who listened to us and challenged us. Some pushed us to look at Proxima from an angle we weren’t used to. We came out of the sprint with a clearer path and a wider perspective than when we went in.
Proxima Security QSTP - Thank You
To the QSTP staff, who followed us through every phase with care and availability.
To QSTP as an institution, for believing in a cybersecurity startup born in Naples.
To Qatar, for giving us the chance to open Proxima Security LLC and put down roots in an ecosystem that invests in the future.
To our pilots and future customers, who chose to trust us when we were only at the beginning. The work we’ll do together, step by step, is what matters most to us.
What changes now
Joining the Park means access to powerful technologies. They let us grow our services and bring Genesis Hub to completion, the platform that brings together everything we’re building. It’s the step from a solid idea to a tool that organizations can use every day.
The direction stays the same: Full-Cycle AI cybersecurity that is technically rigorous and clear to the people who use it, with people at the center.
One more thank you
We thank Ali Abusheikh for telling our story in The Email That Arrived at 5:25 AM, and the QSTP communications team for sharing it, including the slides published on Instagram.
