Hi, I'm Kennan!

Thank you for reading this. My life has been a journey full of ups & downs & I’m grateful to be here.

I grew up in Portland, Oregon & found school extremely boring. I slept through every class because of this. If I'm being real, no one expected me to go anywhere (I ranked top 200 in NA out of 10M+ in League of Legends though).

This all changed when I was 18. I had a big wakeup call & had to start supporting myself.

I started skipping class to code 100 hours a week & combined with my hate for school, I dropped out after 1 year to join Pinterest as an engineer. Pinterest paid very well, but was very boring.

After too long of this, I started my 1st company, Skio, & got into Y Combinator (S20). I did badly during the batch & had to pivot. Thankfully, post-pivot Skio killed it.

Today, Skio is the #1 subscription management software for brands on Shopify with 1000+ brands (Liquid I.V., Milk Bar, Polaroid, Barstool, Unilever, KraveBeauty, Boba Tea Protein), $15M+ ARR & profitable ($8.4M seed), & an amazing team of 60.

All these up-and-down adventures led to Icon. Icon is the culmination of every lesson I've learned (I made many stupid mistakes) in these 10 years of grinding.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to our customers, my team, our investors, & anyone reading this. I have no life and work 7 days a week: feel free to reach out any time at kennan@icon.com.
