🚨 NEW POD IS LIVE 🚨

Kirsten Bartok Touw is the co-founder and Managing Partner of New Vista Capital, one of the few early-stage VC firms focused exclusively on aerospace, space, and defense.

We cover:

• Why capital itself is now a competitive moat in defense
• How New Vista helps portfolio companies sell internationally
• The DOD’s struggle to adapt to distributed, low-cost warfare
• Defense startup challenges like momentum, funding, and TRL X
• Insights on investing in hypersonics, space, and AI

Now available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, and Substack.
