Delaware city, Delaware Oct 5, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Qsec,Inc. (Quantum Security), a pioneering startup developing the world’s first secure direct quantum communication protocol (QSCD), today announced a strategic partnership with FasterCapital through its LaunchUp program. This collaboration aims to accelerate QSec’s commercialization efforts in the U.S. and global markets, leveraging FasterCapital’s extensive resources and global network to address the urgent demand for quantum-resistant communication solutions.
Market Opportunity & Problem Statement
The quantum computing revolution threatens to render current encryption methods obsolete, exposing critical vulnerabilities in key distribution and message interception. The global quantum security market is projected to exceed $165 billion, driven by urgent needs in defense, finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure sectors. Existing solutions like quantum key distribution (QKD) face limitations in efficiency and security, creating a significant white space for innovative protocols that can deliver absolute communication security against quantum attacks.
Startup Solution & Differentiation
Quantum Security, Inc. is developing a groundbreaking QSCD protocol that leverages Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) entangled pairs and quantum teleportation to eliminate classical key exchanges entirely. This approach ensures zero message interception risk, instant tampering detection, and superior resource efficiency compared to QKD systems. With a $315 million funding target, QSec aims to commercialize its technology initially targeting U.S. government agencies, financial institutions, and healthcare providers. Early traction includes ongoing pilot discussions with DARPA, NIST, and major financial entities, positioning QSec as a defensible market leader in post-quantum communication.
FasterCapital Partnership Value
Through the LaunchUp program, FasterCapital provides QSec with critical mentorship, strategic guidance, and capital-raising support to expedite product development and market entry. FasterCapital’s rigorous selection process highlights QSec’s technological innovation and market potential, ensuring alignment with the program’s high standards. This partnership will enable QSec to scale research infrastructure, accelerate pilot deployments, and secure strategic contracts within 24 months, fast-tracking its path to global leadership in quantum-secure communications.
Executive Quotes
Hesham Zreik, Founder and CEO of FasterCapital, said,
“Quantum Security, Inc. represents the future of secure communications in a post-quantum world. Their innovative protocol addresses critical vulnerabilities that current encryption methods cannot solve. Our LaunchUp program is designed to empower such visionary startups, and we are excited to support QSec in transforming the quantum security landscape.”
Powell Pito, Founder and CEO of Quantum Security, Inc., stated,
“Partnering with FasterCapital is a pivotal milestone for QSec. Their global reach and strategic expertise will accelerate our mission to deliver unbreakable, future-proof communication solutions. Together, we will redefine secure information transmission and protect the most sensitive data against emerging quantum threats. If we do not act now, it is to be feared that we never will, or that one distant day, forced to return to it, we may find it is already too late. The whole difficulty lies in knowing how to cross the river at the right moment, before the current sweeps us away irretrievably.”
Growth Trajectory & Future Plans
In the next 12 months, Quantum Security, Inc. plans to complete prototype validation and initiate pilot deployments with U.S. federal agencies and financial institutions. Following a successful U.S. commercial launch, the company will expand internationally with a Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS) subscription model, targeting Europe and Asia-Pacific markets. The $315 million funding round will support advanced R&D, talent acquisition, and go-to-market execution, positioning QSec to exceed $500 million in annual revenue within five years and lead the global quantum security revolution.
