Apto Global

Every year 2.8 billion humans search for the ideal combination of tools and services to help them "adapt to life anywhere." This ever-growing number of international students, employees, virtual explorers, lifestyle travelers and others, seek to more deeply connect and succeed academically, socially and professionally. To do so, they must overcome logistical, language and cultural barriers. Apto is the only app-based culture language and travel community on the market today that offers trusted resources and services to specifically address each user's personalized needs and evolving interests throughout each stage of their journey. Apto does this by using matching algorithms and providing robust in-app storytelling tools where community members can share their authentic experiences through videos, groups, and direct one-on-one interactions. This content and information sharing is how each community member pays it forward to the next generation. The app promotes participation in a meaningful circle of giving, receiving and sharing needed insights and resources to thrive across cultures and geographies. This applies to community members who interact virtually, are planning or are in the midst of travel or relocation. The more each member engages and transacts, the more each is rewarded within Apto's community-driven platform with purpose. Together, the Apto community is learning to "speak human." Fluently. Our History: Between the years of 2013 and 2019, Apto Global evolved from a service-based business helping international expats inbound to the United States, to a B2B technology learning platform helping 70+ global locations.. In late 2019, it began a direct to consumer pivot. In mid 2021, Apto re-branded and restructured to become the global app-based community that it is today, testing its early access versions on Google Play and iOS for its first major launch in 2022.
