Virgil was founded in 2024 as a one-of-a-kind concept to provide unified support for VC-backed startups -- including Legal, Bookkeeping, Tax, Compliance, and People Operations. Virgil supports clients more holistically across various workstreams, to provide day-to-day support more efficiently and affordably than traditional law firms, and make it easier for founding teams to grow their business.
Founded by startup attorney, Luke Versweyveld (Founding CEO), Jeremy Howard (Founding Director, CEO of Answer.AI) and Eric Ries (Founding Director, creator of the Lean Startup and Long Term Stock Exchange), we have assembled an exceptionally talented team of lawyers, operators, and professional service providers who aren't afraid to embrace this new era of technology while maintaining the craft and judgment that high-stakes work demands.
Virgil was named after Dante's guide through hell and purgatory on his way to paradise in the Divine Comedy. It's our hyperbolic way of saying we'll be with clients every step of the way through the most hellacious parts of scaling their startup.

You think "that's how we've always done it" is a valid argument
You prefer working in silos rather than collaborating across disciplines
You need extensive hand-holding
You're looking for a traditional BigLaw experience with marble lobbies and stuffy conference rooms
You prefer theoretical legal analysis over practical business solutions
... but if you want in on the ground floor of a fundamental shift in how startups consume professional services, please reach out.
