Story

Kennan Davison

CEO, Founder

Founder at Skio (CEO 2021-2024, $15M+ ARR & profitable, $8.4M seed).

Previously: Pinterest, Hulu, W+K (ad agency), Top 200 NA LoL, YC S20 (solo founder), Dropout.

Hi, I'm Kennan!

Growing up, I loved competitive gaming and eventually reached Top 200 North America in LoL (out of 100M+ players).

Reality hit at the end of high school: I needed to support myself so I taught myself to code. I quickly fell in love with it, started skipping class to work, and dropped out after a year of college to join Pinterest.

After Pinterest, I started a company called Skio which does subscription management software for brands on Shopify. In 3 years, we've partnered with 1000+ brands (Liquid I.V., Milk Bar, Polaroid, Barstool, Unilever, KraveBeauty, Boba Tea Protein), reached $15M+ ARR & profitable ($8.4M seed), and built an amazing team of 50.

With advancements in generative AI (video specifically), I saw an opportunity to transform advertising (hence Icon & building the first AI Admaker).

I love learning how we can help better. Feel free to reach out any time at kennan@icon.me.
