What Our Clients Say About Us

I’ve been a customer and a partner of Virtua Research for more than four years. They are my go-to for sector specific benchmarking and market intelligence. These guys get it.  

CJ Gustafson

Mostly Metrics

“I first started working with Virtua when I was in IR at Twilio. It was extremely time consuming to analyze and review earnings for general and competitive financial metrics for a large set of companies, especially non-GAAP metrics. With Virtua’s platform, I saved 40+ hours each quarter, enabling me to focus on actual analysis and insights versus losing time as a data jockey. Virtua’s Lifecycle Benchmarking analysis tool is a game changer! I rely on it to prepare comparable SaaS company analyses and insights that I’ve taken to my executive team and board. I’ve been involved with the Virtua Product team on the Lifecycle analysis tool from the start and I absolutely love it.”
