Every other Sunday, we read so you don’t have to.
Civitas Snippets is a curated briefing on politics, economics, and society — filtered through a private equity lens. We cover what actually matters: the policy shift hiding in paragraph four, the market signal everyone’s rationalizing, the social trend that’ll be conventional wisdom in two years.
We try to be useful. We also try to be entertaining. The world is genuinely strange right now, and we see no reason to pretend otherwise.
How this started
The Civitas team was already doing this informally — passing around articles, flagging things worth reading, debating what it meant. At some point we figured: if we’re sharing this with each other anyway, we might as well share it more broadly. The goal is simple — that you find something genuinely useful, or at least don’t feel like it was a waste of ten minutes.
Who reads this?
Operators, investors, founders, and professionals who want to stay sharp without drowning in news. We’re biweekly — published every other Sunday.
Who we are
Civitas Growth Partners is a lower middle-market private equity firm based in Durham, NC. We invest our own capital in founder-led B2B software and technology-enabled services businesses — the kind that are bootstrapped, breakeven, and quietly best-in-class. We take the work seriously. The newsletter, somewhat less so.
