Visa Everywhere Initiative 2022
Get global exposure for your startup or fintech. This year is set to be our biggest ever—with multiple competitions, over $500k in total prizes, and the chance to compete in the global finals in Qatar in November.
Let’s get your startup on the world stage
Visa Everywhere Initiative is an open innovation program that helps startups like yours unlock new opportunities—and gives you a global platform to demonstrate your ground-breaking solutions. The program first launched in the U.S. in 2015, and quickly expanded into a global program. To date, nearly 8,500 startups have participated, and have collectively raised more than $16 billion in funding.
The first step towards getting your startup worldwide attention is to join the Visa Everywhere Initiative network—the same network of startups that our product teams from all over the world access when searching for solutions.
