Virtualitics specializes in “Mission AI,” a category it helped define, and supports data-driven decision-making across the U.S. Department of War and other mission-focused organizations. Its Integrated Readiness Optimization (IRO) platform consolidates fragmented readiness data into a unified AI environment, enabling faster, more proactive planning and response. The company’s growth also reflects broader trends: leaders across government and industry are shifting from predictive analytics to proactive, AI-driven decision-making.
The company has expanded its footprint across all major U.S. military branches, including a new strategic contract with the U.S. Marine Corps. Its technology is used by defense and federal civilian agencies to anticipate challenges, optimize resources and reduce decision cycles from months to minutes.
“Virtualitics was founded to make AI safe, explainable and operational for the nation’s most critical missions,” said CEO and Co-Founder Michael Amori. “This recognition from Deloitte reflects the trust our customers place in us and the impact our technology is having across the national security ecosystem. We’re honored and energized to continue building the next generation of Mission AI.”
“This year’s rankings highlight both enduring leadership and breakthrough momentum,” said Wolfe Tone, U.S. Deloitte Private & Emerging Client Portfolio leader and partner, Deloitte Tax LLP. “More than half of the winners are prior honorees, yet the majority of the top ten are first-time entrants — demonstrating the staying power of established leaders alongside the accelerating growth of new innovators across key sectors. As in previous years, private companies continue to dominate, underscoring the agility that private enterprises bring to competitive markets, enabling the exceptional triple and quadruple digit growth reflected in these rankings.”
