Our startup KITE is powering Visa's 2nd annual The Everywhere Initiative, and one of this year's business challenges is around startups using Visa APIs, hence this post to the HN community.

Winning idea gets up to $50k for a pilot that could lead to a global partnership (same amount & opportunity for the other challenges - Global Events and Cardless). You'll find more details and can apply here: http://vi.sa/1rskMKG

Deadline is May 26. Happy to answer any questions. Thanks in advance for your consideration!

Our startup (getKITE.co) has built software & services to help brands & agencies find the right startups to partner with. Customers include Unilever, PepsiCo, GE, Horizon Media & more. Opps for startups are always FREE.

At SXSW, we're doing a pitch competition at Startup Village on March 16, plus we're selecting startups to pitch CMOs and agency execs and to do interviews w/ a major CPG company. And we're expecting more opps to come as brands hit us with last-minute requests. If you'll be at SXSW and are interested in any of these, let me know! kirin at getkite dot co or fill out our quick survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KITE2015events

[ and claiming your KITE profile so brands know what you're looking for/can offer is a good idea, too: getkite.co/startups ]
