What You'll Do

• Source and manage relationships with equity investors (VC, growth, sovereign wealth), debt providers (banks, infra funds, asset-backed lenders), and strategic partners
• Build and maintain detailed financial models for fundraising: DCFs, LBO-style returns analyses, project finance models for GPU infrastructure
• Structure and negotiate term sheets, credit facilities, and co-investment arrangements
• Own the data room, investor materials, and due diligence process for all capital raises
• Monitor capital markets for relevant financing opportunities, benchmark Lyceum's capital structure against peers, and advise on optimal timing and instruments
• Support grant and subsidy applications (e.g. IPCEI, EU Innovation Fund) where relevant
