Founded in 2014, Mastercard Start Path is an award-winning global program for later-stage startups. The program's mission is to provide a direct path to scale by offering startups access to Mastercard's extensive network of partners, customers, channels, and subject-matter experts. Unlike traditional accelerators, Start Path does not require startups to relocate or give up equity. Over its six-month virtual program, it provides bespoke support and mentorship to companies operating in areas like fintech, digital assets, open banking, and embedded finance, helping them grow and co-create solutions with Mastercard.
