Claritas Capital, the Burton Hills-based early-stage venture capital firm, has apparently raised $10 million of a combined projected $75MM for two pooled investment interest funds, according to two SEC filings by the firm today.

The filings for Claritas Opportunilty Fund II and Fund IV listed only managing directors John Chadwick, Don McLemore and vice president Theresa Sexton as associated with the raise of pooled investment fund interests.

Claritas portfolio companies include locals Cybera, edo Interactive, HCA and Dobie Media and Atlanta-based Digital Blue, among others. One of its recent big paydays was the sale for former portfolio holding StudioNow to AOL for $36.5MM, in January 2010.

Claritas says it has participated in transactions valued at more than $400 million since its founding in 2002. The principals have participated in financing more than 150 companies, according to its website. The firm provides equity capital, debt financings and finances premier real-estate assets.

Principals of the firm have not yet responded to requests for comment on the filing. This story will be updated as warranted. VNCs
