We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: Scamnetic has officially been selected to join the first cohort of the Mastercard Start Path Security Solutions program!
As scams and fraud continue to evolve, so must the technologies that fight them. Joining Mastercard Start Path represents a pivotal moment in Scamnetic’s journey — one that aims to help us expand our capabilities, accelerate our growth, and strengthen our mission to protect businesses and consumers from increasingly sophisticated digital threats.
Why This Matters
The Mastercard Start Path program is an award-winning startup engagement program that is shaping the future of financial technology and security. With a particular focus on fraud prevention, cybersecurity, digital identity, and payment resiliency, the Start Path Security Solutions program connects emerging leaders like Scamnetic with Mastercard’s vast global network of partners, resources, and expertise.
At Scamnetic, we’ve built our platform to detect and prevent scams in real-time — whether they happen through SMS, email, messaging apps, phone calls, or social media. As digital fraud tactics grow more complex, we believe that prevention must happen at the first point of contact — before customers are ever exposed to scam attempts. This proactive approach is what sets Scamnetic apart.
What This Partnership Means for Scamnetic
Joining the Start Path Security Solutions program unlocks a range of strategic advantages that drive impact for our customers, our partners, and the future of our technology:
- Access to Mastercard’s Global Ecosystem: We’ll have the opportunity to collaborate across Mastercard’s expansive global network — opening doors for new commercial partnerships and integrations.
- Deep Security Expertise: Working closely with Mastercard’s world-class security solution team offers the opportunity to refine our models, enhance detection accuracy, and continually stay ahead of emerging scam tactics.
- Scalable Growth Opportunities: The Start Path program provides dedicated mentorship on everything from operational scaling to go-to-market strategies, helping us grow sustainably while expanding our reach to new industries and markets.
- Collaborative Innovation: We’ll explore potential joint development initiatives and pilot programs that integrate Scamnetic’s real-time scam prevention technology into broader fraud management frameworks.
The Global Fight Against Scams is Evolving — Fast
Scams are no longer isolated incidents; they’re increasingly complex, coordinated, and global. Businesses across industries — from financial services to ecommerce to healthcare — face growing pressure to protect their customers from identity theft, phishing, impersonation, and financial fraud. 
At Scamnetic, we see this as a solvable problem — one that requires smarter tools, broader collaboration, and a real commitment to innovation. Real-time, proactive scam detection shouldn’t be a luxury feature; it should be table stakes for any organization looking to build trust with its customers.
That’s why joining Mastercard Start Path is so significant. It provides the opportunity for us to scale our technology faster, learn from global leaders in financial security, and ultimately deliver even more powerful protection to the businesses and individuals who rely on us.
Looking Ahead
Being selected for Mastercard Start Path Security Solutions’ first cohort is not only a recognition of the work we’ve done — it’s a signal of where we’re going next. We’re incredibly grateful for this opportunity and excited for what lies ahead as we collaborate with Mastercard and our fellow cohort members.
This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more updates as we build the next generation of real-time scam protection — together.
