Civaris Capital Management

Civaris Capital Management, LP is a private investment firm based in Miami, Florida, specializing in optimizing human capital assets. The firm focuses on partnering with growth-oriented, people-centric service businesses across the United States, particularly those where talent is a primary value driver.

Leading the firm are Jordan Earnheardt and Patrick Danvers, both seasoned private equity professionals with extensive experience in the lower-middle-market and asset-light services. Civaris positions itself as a partner that aligns incentives around people, performance, and long-term growth, emphasizing the importance of human capital beyond being a mere resource.

The investment thesis centers on lower-middle-market, asset-light services opportunities, targeting businesses with EBITDA in the $3 million to $12 million+ range. Civaris aims to invest in sectors that experience GDP-plus growth, particularly where skilled talent is scarce and critical capabilities distinguish successful companies from their competitors. The firm employs a rigorous, data-driven framework to assess, recruit, develop, and retain top talent, while also fostering cultural excellence within its portfolio companies.

Civaris differentiates itself by integrating talent strategy with growth plans, recognizing that human capital is a key value driver, especially in professional services, outsourced functions, and knowledge-based platforms. The firm’s motto, The Best People, Organized, reflects its philosophy, which is derived from Civitas (community) and Aristos (excellence).

As Civaris completes its organizational phase, it is preparing for fund formation and regulatory registration, actively expanding its team and operations to establish itself as a leading human-capital platform in private markets.
