MasterCard offers fillip to startups

Zhang Jian, in his 30s and the founder of a startup company focusing on urban freight logistics application, will see a chance provided by MasterCard Inc, the global giant in payment industry, to shorten its route to success.

Expert guidance and finance are two important elements that startups need most at the beginning while MasterCard will provide both, if the startups participate and win in the newly launched program MasterCard Start Path in China.

Start Path is a global effort to support innovative, early-stage startups that are developing the next generation of commerce solutions.
