Timothy Herman

Founder

Before founding UpEquity I was a fighter pilot in the US Navy. I flew F/A-18s off aircraft carriers and was one of the first F-35C pilots in the Navy. After leaving the Navy, I attended Harvard Business School where I was a candidate for an MBA. Half way through my tenure at HBS, I participated in the S19 batch and dropped out of school.
