Virtus

Brotherhood cannot be downloaded.

Virtus is intentionally structured around real relationships rather than digital engagement. Men are known, not followed.

Structure

  1. I

    Brotherhood

    Six to eight men who meet weekly, know each other's work, and know each other's struggles.

  2. II

    Cohort

    The men who enter together and are formed together over twelve months.

  3. III

    Chapter

    The men of a city, gathered around a table.

  4. IV

    Fellowship

    The whole body of members, bound by the same standards.

  5. V

    Alumni Network

    Mentors, employers, investors, teachers, and donors for the men who follow.

Six to eight men.

  • Meet weekly.
  • Know each other's work.
  • Know each other's struggles.
  • Challenge one another.

The internet coordinates the community.
It does not constitute it.
