The Speritas Capital team is passionate about helping you grow
Meet Jeff Bardos
CEO, Speritas Capital Partners
I founded Speritas Capital Partners to help small and medium-sized businesses broaden their access to the right kind of capital.
With 30 years of experience in the financial services industry, I bring a unique perspective and skill set to Speritas Capital.
Starting off at the NY Fed, I’ve worked at senior levels in commercial banking, retail banking, strategic planning, liquidity risk management and regulatory affairs.
I’ve also played senior founding roles in several start-ups where I learned first-hand that access to capital is one of the most significant hurdles facing small and medium-sized businesses.
Your greatest need as a business owner is for honest, actionable advice that can be translated into a clear and concise capital action plan. I’m happy to share my knowledge with my clients and with CT’s growth business owners through the CTNext Mentor Network program.
At Speritas, we work by partnering with business owners and executives to reach a common understanding of objectives, opportunities and risks. We help clients develop a compelling story for potential lenders – backed by numbers – that leads to successful funding.

What makes Speritas Capital Partners different?
Our clients can’t believe we’re brokers because we don’t act like brokers. We’re sophisticated ‘debt advisors’ with decades of banking and deal structuring experience. Your trust - and our reputation in the industry - is critical to us, and to your funding success.

Meet Cathy Blood
Partner & Director of Marketing
My role at Speritas is a creative one. I help potential clients understand why we’re different from (and better than!) other commercial debt advisors.
So I focus a lot of my time on telling funding stories and creating engaging (and educational) content that speaks to our great reputation and extensive banking & structuring experience.
While I began my career at the New York Federal Reserve Bank, I’ve spent the past 20 years embedded in the new media and digital world. I’ve started online businesses and I continue to help organizations with their overall online presence, including content creation, website visibility, SEO and email communications.
As an entrepreneur I understand the extraordinary devotion business owners demonstrate every day, especially women business owners.
I’m an active participant in local women’s business development programs and networking groups, including Woman Owned Greenwich where I am a Steering Committee member.
Even though the Women’s Business Ownership Act passed in 1988, (women could finally take out a business loan without a male cosigner), female entrepreneurs still face significant obstacles when trying to access capital.
Through Speritas, I hope to build greater awareness among women of alternative and appropriate (nonbank) funding sources.
