About Us

Founded in 2021 by former NewStar Financial executives, Clarus Capital brings together a team with over 25 years of experience successfully building and leading world-class direct lending businesses while establishing an exceptional track record across economic and market cycles.

Clarus Capital was formed as a partnership between a proven leadership team and long-term institutional capital with the vision of creating a sponsor-centric private credit platform that sets a new standard of excellence in the equipment finance asset class.



If you are a private equity firm or a portfolio company CFO and haven’t partnered directly with Clarus yet, or explored the advantages of equipment finance in the capital structure, we welcome the opportunity to demonstrate how we are redefining the equipment finance experience.

Why the
Lighthouse?

weather-tested

Though nation-wide in scope, many members of the Clarus Capital team trace their personal and/or professional roots to the Boston area. Just east of our office, standing in the heart of historic Boston Harbor since before the American Revolution, Boston Light is a weather-tested, fully-functional monument to stability, endurance, reliability and risk management. First constructed in 1716 and later rebuilt in 1783, it is the oldest lighthouse location in the United States. As a testament to its historical significance, Boston Light is now the last remaining lighthouse still kept by US Coast Guard personnel. The light’s rich history includes a temporary occupation by British soldiers during the Revolution and countless episodes of human survival, bravery and endurance in the most challenging conditions.
