Today, Mastercard welcomes Plume to its award-winning Start Path program.
Start Path is Mastercard’s selective startup engagement program providing global support for fintechs.
Mastercard combines deep expertise, an unparalleled global network, and cutting-edge services with leading partnerships to help integrate digital assets into the financial mainstream.
Plume is one of five companies selected for the latest cohort dedicated to Blockchain and Digital Assets, alongside Nomyx, Borderless.xyz, Keyrails, and Nominis. Together, this group represents some of the most forward-looking approaches to building infrastructure, security, and adoption in digital finance.
Mastercard's Start Path
Launched in 2014, Start Path has supported more than 500 startups across 55+ countries, helping them scale with access to strategic partnerships, customers, and capital. Mastercard’s dedicated Blockchain & Digital Assets track, launched in 2023, focuses on accelerating the next generation of trusted, blockchain-powered innovations that will bring digital assets into the financial mainstream.
For Plume, joining Start Path means:
- Access to Mastercard’s global network of partners, customers, and industry leaders.
- Opportunities for collaboration and co-innovation with Mastercard product teams.
- Support for scaling our mission to make real-world assets (RWAs) and blockchain-powered finance as seamless and ubiquitous as traditional payments.
This milestone underscores Plume’s momentum as we continue to bridge institutional finance and DeFi through a compliance-aligned, purpose-built blockchain for RWAs.
We’re honored to join the Start Path program and look forward to working with Mastercard and our fellow cohort members to shape the future of digital finance.
