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.
Key global competition details
Our 2022 global competition is going to be bigger and better than ever before—with more prizes and more opportunities for your fintech to get in front of Visa’s executives and clients. One winner per region will be selected to compete in the global finals, which will take place in Qatar in November. If you’re a startup with great products already in market and gaining traction—and are looking for an extra push from a global, trusted brand like Visa to gain scale—this competition is perfect for you.
