Our Vision & Team
Shaping the future of work, with you.
VirtualBrain was founded in France in 2023. When GenAI revealed its potential, we immediately saw what it could mean for deep knowledge work, especially for consulting and investment professionals.
But GenAI in its raw form is flawed: hallucinations, security risks, weak enterprise integration, costly setups, and the illusion that complex workflows can be solved with a two-line prompt.
Since then, we have built a proven playbook for fixing those inherent flaws & adapting GenAI breakthroughs to advisory and investment workflows.
Today, VirtualBrain is deployed by industry leaders in 10 European countries. Our mission is to shape the future of deep work powered by agents and guided by humans.
Our values moving forward with AI
We have a strong opinion on how, as a company, we need to build a sustainable path to help organizations transform with AI.
Human in the loop
Chasing the ultimate LLM leads to standardized work everywhere. We take the opposite path by putting your expertise at the center of AI deployment to amplify your unique methods, processes, and knowledge.
Laser-focused approach
Every feature we release benefits all our users because we focus on your industry. While mainstream platforms try to serve everyone, from holiday planners to online shoppers, we design exclusively for consulting and investment workflows.
Strategic Partnerships
We see every client as a partner. Together we improve the product, uncover new use cases, and create innovative services for your own clients. We are not just selling software; we are transforming how you and your clients work.
Security is non-negotiable
Security is not just about your internal data, it’s about your clients’ data. Cutting corners on security is an existential threat for your business. We comply with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, run entirely within the EU, and retains no data. No training, no leakage, full compliance.
Our team
Leading the conversation about the future of work in the industries we serve.

Frequently asked questions about VB
We started by fixing GenAI’s flaws such as hallucination, sourcing, security, data integration, and change management so consulting and investment professionals could run their workflows safely.
As the technology evolved, we realized our clients’ needs were unique. That led us to build a suite of products focused entirely on their use cases, creating a flywheel for continuous transformation.
We bootstrapped our first years, focusing on product development and real revenue. Having seen startups burn through capital too quickly, we chose discipline and proof of value first. We are now entering our second growth phase, accelerated by a fundraising round soon to be announced.
Our AI runs on fully EU-hosted infrastructure powered by open-source models.
No training. No fine-tuning. No data retention. Ever.
We are ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR compliant, and regularly pen-tested. Our system mirrors your internal permissions and gives CIOs full visibility through an advanced admin console.
Our goal is to become the go-to platform for internal AI automation in consulting and investment.
We believe every knowledge worker will soon become an “Agent Boss” who designs their own AI workflows, combining human judgment with automated intelligence. The next step is to let firms build AI use cases for their own clients directly on VirtualBrain.
Focus: Built exclusively for consulting and investment professionals, not for everyone.
Impact: 50+ high-ROI use cases co-built with industry experts that automate full workflows.
Technology: An end-to-end orchestration platform that connects data, processes, and agents, far beyond simple prompt wrappers.
Security: EU-hosted, open-source, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified, with no data training or retention.
We co-develop our platform with experts from McKinsey, EY, Bank of America, and other leading firms.
We partner with clients to deploy AI use cases in their industries and host private in-person events on the future of work in consulting and investment.
Our co-founder also publishes the newsletter No Future of Work, exploring how AI is reshaping human expertise.
If you share this vision, let us build something together.
Let’s build the future of work together.
