Joar Hagatun helped turn a simple idea about making investments more accessible into one of Norway’s most successful fintech stories. As co-founder of Kron, he led the journey from startup to national brand — challenging incumbents, scaling rapidly, and redefining how people engage with savings and investments.

Kron’s story didn’t stop there. In a rare “spinout-to-spin-in” move, the company rejoined Storebrand, proving that corporate and startup worlds can not only coexist, but thrive together. At Unleashed, Joar will share the highs, the hard lessons, and the unique dynamics of building something bold on the inside — and then finding the right way back.
