Civaris Capital Management, LP (“Civaris”), a private investment firm specializing in human capital optimization, has officially launched under the leadership of Jordan Earnheardt and Patrick Danvers, seasoned private equity professionals with deep experience in lower-middle-market, asset-light services businesses.
The firm takes a talent-first approach, partnering with founders and leadership teams to assess, acquire, develop, and deploy human capital as the core driver of value. Civaris focuses on companies generating $3 million to $12+ million in EBITDA, emphasizing GDP-plus growth sectors, mission-critical services, talent-constrained markets, and high-performance cultures.
“Modern businesses are defined by their human capital,” said Jordan Earnheardt, Managing Partner. “Our mission is to create best-in-class companies by prioritizing, defining, and measuring the impact of talent. In many businesses, people aren’t just the most important asset—they’re the only one, and Civaris’s philosophy recognizes that.”
Patrick Danvers, Partner, added, “We built Civaris to be the kind of partner we always wished existed for founders and investors alike. We view performance and alignment through a cultural lens, and our responsibility is to build environments that attract exceptional people and organize them to perform at their highest potential.”
Headquartered in Miami, Florida, Civaris is currently completing its organizational setup, preparing for fund formation, and registering with regulators. The firm is expanding its team and operational infrastructure to support its next phase of growth, keeping talent development and organizational culture at the center of its investment strategy.
By focusing on human capital as the defining differentiator, Civaris aims to redefine private equity success metrics, measuring outcomes not just in financial terms but in talent performance, engagement, and organizational culture.
