Clover Networks
Clover Network Inc. was a Silicon Valley mobile-payments startup that launched publicly in March 2012 with a one-click, app-based checkout network aiming to complete a payment in under five seconds using a phone number and PIN, charging merchants a 3% per-transaction fee and seeding adoption with a developer fund and instant-refund incentives. It raised $5.8M from Andreessen Horowitz and Sutter Hill Ventures and was acquired by First Data on December 28, 2012. The Clover name and technology were carried forward by First Data into the Clover point-of-sale platform, which is now owned by Fiserv and covered separately in the API Evangelist network by the `clover` repository. This entity is a historical a16z portfolio lead and no longer operates as an independent company or publishes its own developer surface.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
Clover Networks is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Clover Networks scores 5.7/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Clover Networks is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
