Civaris Capital Management Launches as a Leader in Human Capital Investment
On October 22, 2025, Civaris Capital Management, LP, a new private investment firm, announced its official launch. Based in Miami, Florida, Civaris specializes in optimizing human capital assets, which are increasingly recognized as the backbone of successful modern businesses. This firm is helmed by Jordan Earnheardt and Patrick Danvers, both seasoned professionals in private equity with a keen focus on lower-middle-market, asset-light service businesses.
Civaris seeks to partner with subject matter experts and leadership teams who are aware of the critical role human capital plays in their companies. With a strategic approach that emphasizes talent assessment, acquisition, development, and delivery, Civaris aims to foster cultures of excellence within organizations through a data-driven framework.
Focus on Growth Sectors
Civaris plans to target businesses generating between $3 million to over $12 million in EBITDA. The firm prioritizes sectors exhibiting GDP-plus growth, vital offerings that are mission-critical, and talent-constrained markets. In addition, Civaris values cultures defined by performance, collaboration, and accountability — conditions it believes are essential for long-term success.
Jordan Earnheardt, the Managing Partner at Civaris, stated, "Civaris was founded on the belief that modern businesses are defined by their human capital. Our mission is to create best-in-class companies by prioritizing, defining, and measuring the impact of talent. In many businesses, people are not just the most valuable asset; they are the only one. Civaris's philosophy embodies this understanding."
Patrick Danvers, also a Partner at Civaris, 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 talent and organize them to perform at their highest potential."
Mission and Approach
At its core, Civaris operates under the belief that human capital is the primary driver of value creation. This belief shapes its approach, which includes close collaboration with founders, management teams, and industry experts to help build scalable and enduring business models across service-oriented sectors.
The firm's name, Civaris, derives from the Latin words
Civitas (meaning community or organization) and
Aristos (referring to excellence). This reflects Civaris’s commitment to bringing "The Best People, Organized" together within a structure conducive to success.
Currently, Civaris is in its organizational phase, finalizing its team and operational infrastructure for growth while preparing for fund formation and regulatory registration. It promises to be a significant player in the private investment landscape by focusing on the vital role of human capital in defining business success.
