Push forward – we've got your back.

Virtus is an insurance brokerage and consulting firm bringing a fresh approach to a stagnant industry.

Our story

It starts above a pizza shop in 2013. Our office is tiny, our staff is bare bones and we’re pulling lots of late nights. We’re determined to take on a tired industry and win. We come from jobs at large, stagnant brokerage firms where mediocrity is the norm. 

We’re anything but average. 

Our business model and market strategy were built on the foundation of boldness, excellence and courage--after all, these are the words that comprise the meaning of Virtus. Our values-driven culture is our competitive advantage, and we hire the best and brightest talent who, like our founders, are industry renegades, problem solvers, creative thinkers, and change makers. 

Our days above the pizza shop may be over, but the grit and entrepreneurial spirit are inherent in who we are, making us relentless in our pursuit to create a better tomorrow, today. So whether your dream is to topple industry titans, launch the next great start-up, scale your business or change the world, our dream is to help you achieve it. Push Forward--We’ve Got your Back.
