Zach Shore, CEO of Hermeus, joins Tyler Sweatt to talk about startups on hard mode in aviation, why building more planes makes you faster, and keeping your mouth shut as a go-to-market strategy.
Breaking into aviation as a startup means years of quiet, brutal work with nothing to show for it publicly. Zach Shore calls it startups on hard mode: the pain is real, but the moat is massive.
Now Hermeus is the fastest company in history from founding to supersonic flight, and its newly minted CEO sits down with Tyler to explain how a small team out-built a 75-year-old industry.
Zach Shore is the CEO of Hermeus, a former Marine SIGINT officer and Anduril early employee who led the Lattice program before joining Hermeus to build its go-to-market motion from scratch.
