By 2020, people over 65 will have outnumbered children under 5
"The Crossing" is an unprecedented demographic shift in human history. Now more than ever, there is a need to redefine how we think about aging.
An opportunity to redefine aging and longevity
Our mission is to empower people in later life with better health, wellness, and care
Seniors shouldn't be an afterthought when it comes to innovation. At Virtue we develop tailored innovations to help people lead longer, healthier, and happier lives.
Our Story
Virtue was born at the University of Oxford, where we began the journey towards transforming how our society approaches aging and longevity. Inspired to tackle issues that affected seniors in our own families, we believed innovation needed to be a lot more inclusive of people in later life.
For too long, older adults have been an afterthought when it comes to innovation. We believe The Crossing is an opportunity to change that. It’s a chance to build a better world for our seniors, and a better life for our future selves.
