Simetrik selected for Mastercard Start Path’s inaugural Agentic Commerce and Services cohort

September 3, 2026

The company will join 21 other businesses from around the world building the infrastructure for a new generation of experiences powered by AI agents.

San Francisco. Simetrik has been selected to participate in Mastercard Start Path’s inaugural Agentic Commerce and Services cohort. The program brings together companies from around the world developing AI-driven solutions across payments and commerce, ranging from agent platforms and enablement tools to emerging agentic payment flows.

This marks the second time Simetrik has been selected for a Mastercard Start Path program, just months after joining its Corporate Solutions track. The new cohort is the first Start Path program focused specifically on Agentic Commerce and Services.

The selection comes as Simetrik advances its vision for agentic financial control. In August, the company launched Simetrik Agent, an autonomous agent that automates financial reconciliation and control tasks while operating on a deterministic, auditable core designed to keep people in control of critical decisions.

As AI agents move beyond recommendations and begin executing transactions, finance teams will need a reliable way to track what happened across increasingly autonomous workflows. Simetrik is building the financial control layer for this new environment, enabling companies to reconcile transactions, detect exceptions, and preserve a complete audit trail.

This work already operates at global scale: more than 180 companies across over 50 countries use Simetrik to process 2.5 billion records every day. Through Mastercard Start Path, the company will tap into Mastercard’s global network, receive tailored support, and have the opportunity to explore new ways to strengthen financial control across the emerging agentic commerce ecosystem.

For Simetrik, joining the program is an opportunity to help shape how companies maintain visibility, traceability, and control as AI agents take on a larger role in transactions. 

Mastercard Start Path is Mastercard’s global startup engagement program. Since its launch in 2014, it has supported more than 500 companies across over 60 countries. Participating companies have gone on to raise an estimated $25 billion in post-program capital, while Start Path has facilitated more than 15,000 connections between startups and Mastercard customers and partners worldwide.
