Claritas Capital

Claritas Capital is a Nashville-based alternative investment firm, founded in 2002, that has deployed over $1 billion into entrepreneurs, developers, and visionaries across multiple asset classes. It operates as both a venture capital and private equity investor, partnering with strong management teams and established business models positioned for significant growth, with a focus on lower middle market companies. Its dedicated healthcare arm, Claritas Health Ventures, acts as a lead minority investor, providing up to $25 million to emerging healthcare companies whose management teams drive access, equity, reduced costs, and improved outcomes. Its healthcare portfolio spans digital health, femtech, mental health, data services, provider services, and software, with investments including Kindbody, Scene Health, PeopleOne Health, emocha, and aptihealth. Outside healthcare, Claritas invests in technology, fintech, media and entertainment, hospitality, sports, and sustainability. Its venture team typically deploys $2 million to $5 million across seed, Series A, and Series B companies seeking to raise less than $10 million from experienced lead investors, using flexible equity and hybrid equity structures tailored to lower middle market companies. Its real estate practice partners with Southeast developers across commercial, industrial, residential, land development, and multi-family projects. It pursues deal-by-deal opportunities in markets it knows well, plus financing partnerships for developers with national build-to-suit projects. Across its strategies, Claritas favors companies solving healthcare inefficiencies or exploiting disruptive technology opportunities in information services.
