Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at NATSEC Capital?
CEO & Managing Partner Bryson Clements leads the firm. He worked previously at Goldman Sachs and served as an advisor to the Chairman of the Senate Intelligence and Senate Finance Committees. The partnership model distributes authority across senior operators — retired general officers, former agency directors, and operating executives — each capable of originating and evaluating deals inside their domain.
How does NATSEC Capital source deals?
The firm’s partners draw on decades of relationships inside the Department of Defense, the intelligence community, NATO commands, and the national laboratories. Those networks create early visibility into procurement needs and technology gaps long before formal RFPs or market processes begin. In addition, operating partners who led F500 defense and aerospace businesses maintain direct lines to industrial supply chains.
