Frequently asked questions
Who makes the investment decisions at New Vista Capital?
Investment decisions are led by the co-founding team of Dennis Muilenburg (Chairman and CEO), Kirsten Bartok Touw (Managing Partner), and Gen. Stephen Wilson (Senior Partner). They are supported by Senior Partners Kory Mathews and Mela Louise Norman, drawing on an advisory bench of retired generals and former Pentagon acquisition officials.
How does New Vista source its deals?
The firm sources deals through its partners' direct relationships inside the Department of Defense and the aerospace supply chain. Co-Founder Dennis Muilenburg's tenure as Boeing CEO and Gen. Stephen Wilson’s role as Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force provide proprietary insight into emerging requirements, while the broader venture-partner network flags technologies meeting near-term defense needs.
Is New Vista a venture firm or an advisor?
New Vista operates as a venture capital firm that also embeds a strategic-operator model. It makes direct equity investments and simultaneously provides portfolio companies with operational guidance on defense procurement, testing, and scale-up, leveraging a team that has previously built and bought advanced defense systems.
Which sectors does New Vista specifically cover?
The firm's exclusive focus areas are AI and autonomy, space technologies, reindustrialization via advanced manufacturing, and next-generation defense systems. This narrow dual-use aperture is the mandate — it does not target commercial-only enterprise software, fintech, or consumer tech.
