Virta Health to relocate headquarters from California to Denver
DENVER — Virta Health Corp., a health technology company that seeks to reverse type 2 diabetes, will move its headquarters from San Francisco to Denver.
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis announced the relocation Friday morning at a meeting of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp.
“As a business person, I am excited about the progress our administration has made to attract and secure new businesses, help support existing companies and support the creation of more good-paying jobs for Coloradans,” Polis said. “This exciting addition to Colorado’s growing technology and health industries will bring new good-paying jobs to Coloradans, and we are thrilled to welcome Virta Health to Colorado, the best place to live, work, and do business.”

In Colorado, 1 in 3 women, 1 in 3 men and 1 in 2 transgender individuals will experience an attempted or completed sexual assault in their lifetime. During April, we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the hopes of increasing conversations about this very important issue.
Virta’s technology reverses type 2 diabetes without medications or surgery. The company employs 392 workers, with 100 already working remotely in Colorado out of a satellite office in Denver.
“The technology and healthcare talent we have already assembled in Colorado provides a clear picture of the exciting growth potential we have in the region,” Sami Inkinen, Virta Health co-founder and CEO, said in a written statement. “Colorado is a great place to live, with a spirit of innovation and people who are willing to tackle big challenges to change the world for the better. It’s an ideal setup for a mission-oriented company like Virta Health.”
Colorado will provide up to $6.95 million in performance-based Job Growth Incentive Tax Credits over an eight-year period to VirtaHealth, referred to as Project Chamomile during the review process by the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade.
