Andrew Herr
Andrew Herr is the founder and CEO of Flykitt (and its parent company Fount), a health and human-performance company that builds systems to eliminate jet lag by targeting circadian disruption and travel-induced inflammation. Before entrepreneurship, he spent over a decade advising the U.S. military on human performance and biotech strategy from the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment, working with Navy SEALs and fighter pilots. Holding three Georgetown master's degrees and twice named an Army 'Mad Scientist,' Herr has turned the performance secrets of special operators into products trusted by pro sports teams, executives, and everyday travelers.
Ross Hangebrauck
Ross Hangebrauck is a General Partner at BVVC (Bravo Victor Venture Capital), a seed-stage fund backing mission-first founders building technologies at the intersection of national security and commercial innovation. A former U.S. Navy SEAL turned entrepreneur, he co-founded Hover Inc. in 2011 — a platform that turns smartphone photos into 3D home models — raising $142M and reaching 12 million homes scanned. After six years as a startup CEO and a stint managing international VC operations at Almaz Capital, he joined BVVC to back companies operating across defense, autonomy, robotics, and advanced manufacturing. He brings a rare operator-to-investor arc: from deploying in operational theaters worldwide to architecting portfolio companies that he says must deliver 'integration, interoperability, and scalability.'
