Aparta named among the Top 200 Startups Globally by TechCrunch

Only Nordic company in the fintech category
Here, TechCrunch brings together 200 of the world's most innovative startups at the global tech conference TechCrunch Disrupt 2026. Aparta was selected from among thousands of applicants across industries. The company is the only one from Norway to make this year's selection, and the only Nordic company to make it into the fintech category.

Aparta offers a completely new way to own a home. The solution enables people to either buy their first home together with a professional co-owner, or sell a share of their current home to free up capital without having to move.

Major recognition
"Being selected among the top 200 startups globally by TechCrunch is enormous recognition of what we're building at Aparta. We're creating a new category at the intersection of housing, technology, and finance. We're established in the Nordics, expanding in Europe, and the ambition is to take the model further beyond Europe over time. The fact that we're also the only startup from Norway in this year's global selection makes this extra special," says Eilin Schjetne, founder and CEO of Aparta.

Attracting investors
The event takes place from October 13 to 15 in San Francisco. Aparta gets a truly unique opportunity to present itself to media, the capital market, and investors. TechCrunch is known for introducing a number of trendsetting tech companies to the market, and describes Startup Battlefield as the place where investors look to identify the next wave of innovation.

"I’m incredibly excited to take Aparta to San Francisco and present our model at the heart of global technology and innovation. Being selected among the world’s top 200 startups is a tremendous recognition. Aparta started at my kitchen table, and to have come this far is something I hope can inspire other Norwegian founders, and people who are considering starting something of their own. We need more people who are willing to think big and take risks to build the companies and jobs of the future in Norway,” says Schjetne.
