About

Phil Lodato has overseen the closing of 500+ financings for Indiana-based startups as General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer at Elevate Ventures, an unusually large volume for a single GC/CCO that gives him pattern-rich experience with term structures and fundraising paths. His career path from economics and valuation consulting at PricewaterhouseCoopers through corporate law to serving as Legal Counsel for Indiana's 21st Century Research and Technology Fund before joining Elevate from its earliest days creates an uncommon blend of quantitative valuation background, transactional law expertise, and public-private fund experience.
