Leadership

Elizabeth Lyssikatos

Founder & Managing Partner

Elizabeth founded Aegis Capital Ventures to evaluate, structure and execute private-market transactions. Her focus is digital infrastructure and the energy transition, with selective work in healthcare and private markets.

Before Aegis, she was Vice President of Renewable Energy Project Finance at Bank Hapoalim, leading the underwriting and structuring of utility-scale solar, wind and storage financings, from development-stage to construction-to-term facilities.

Earlier, she worked in infrastructure investing and M&A at Cordelio Power, a CPP Investments portfolio company, and in investment banking at Deutsche Bank and Wells Fargo Securities. She is a Davidson College alumna.

Her experience spans multi-gigawatt renewable portfolio M&A and joint ventures, project finance, institutional credit underwriting and private-market transactions. Recent work includes a proposed $500 million digital infrastructure platform focused on large-scale data center development.

Alongside Aegis, she is Partner, Commercial Origination & Strategic Advisory at International Trans Oil Energy (ITOE); a Venture Partner at Sparks Physical AI Ventures; and a Partner and Board Member at Beryll Swiss Family Advisory.

She leads every mandate personally, from the first conversation to closing. Beyond her deal work, she has a personal passion for art and impact investing.

The asset or business, the people behind it, and a plain account of where the risk sits.

Diligence

Commercial, financial and technical work, coordinated with specialist advisors.

Structure

The right instrument, whether equity, debt or a hybrid, built for the stage and the exit.

Execute

Negotiation through to closing, then a long-term partnership as the asset matures.
