The startups will begin the program by working with MasterCard during a week-long immersion in London, followed by the six-month virtual program that ends with the Start Path Global Partner summit in New York this November.
Advisors include Rakuten, TSYS and Royal Bank of Canada.
Founded in 2015, London-based Everledger uses blockchain technology to track the history of diamond ownership to help ensure the ethical extraction of the gems.
