Founder

Hi, I'm Kennan!
Thank you for reading this. My life has been a journey full of ups & downs and I'm grateful to be here.
I grew up finding school extremely boring & slept through most of my classes. If I'm being real, no one thought I'd go anywhere (was Top 200 North America in League of Legends though).
Everything changed when I was 18: I had a big wakeup call & had to support myself.
This triggered me in a good way & I worked 100-hour weeks until I became a good engineer. This gave me the confidence to drop out of college after 1 year & eventually start my 1st company, Skio.
With Skio, I got into Y Combinator & completely failed during the batch. Thankfully, pivoting worked well ($105M cash exit, $32M ARR, $8M raised).
But it's not over yet: I've started Icon because I have a massive chip on my shoulder.
I know I'm not supposed to say this publicly, but I want to make Icon one of the greatest companies of all time.
I want to help brands make wonderful content.
I want to help creators make a living.
I want to help creators make a living.
I want to win so bad that I'm sacrificing my life working 7 days a week for it. I'll even eat dog poop if it means winning.
It's just the beginning & we're always learning. Feel free to send feedback anytime (kennan@icon.com).
