Operators first, investors second.
Virtus Financial Partners, Inc. is a family office investment firm that buys and operates middle market software businesses across various industries.
We drive value through growth, and invest in businesses when we're certain our operating expertise can facilitate both near term and sustainable growth.
As a family office, we do not have outside investors. This allows us tremendous flexibility, efficiency, and an indefinite investment horizon.

The Virtus team carries a diverse set of expertise - mergers and acquisitions, financial engineering, large enterprise sales, B2B/B2C marketing, and technical and product development. We leverage this expertise in operating and strategically advising our portfolio companies to drive substantial, sustainable growth.

We do not see cost cutting as a sustainable or ethical business practice, and buy businesses in which we are certain we can drive top-line revenue growth.We leverage a substantial network of experienced managers who provide both strategic and operational support to our portfolio companies.This network consists of experienced sales leaders, digital marketing experts, product/engineering managers, customer support leaders, and financial analysts.We are operators, not investors.
