Our Mission and Impact

Founded by Bobbie Racette, a visionary Métis-Cree entrepreneur, Virtual Gurus is more than a talent marketplace—it’s a platform for meaningful change. We champion inclusivity, offering professional opportunities to underrepresented groups including women, Indigenous peoples, 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, racialized persons, those with disabilities, stay-at-home parents, and remote community residents. Since 2016, we’ve contributed over 460,000 hours of professional assistance, helping businesses thrive while promoting diverse talent.

Such an amazing company. Not only do their values align in terms of supporting local, but their execution is flawless. The entire process during onboarding was very impressive and they resolved any concerns I had. Could not recommend this company more and will expect that I’ll be a customer as long as I need a VA.
