[$30K referral] Icon is hiring an agency / brand owner OR creative strategist to build our enterprise creative team from the ground up. In-person NYC is extremely preferred, but if you’re a killer, maybe remote. There’s 2 profiles we’re looking for: Profile 1: You’ve run (or currently run) a performance creative agency (or have equivalent experience running brands), have a team of 2-10 creatives ready to follow you, & can impress enterprise clients. We’d publicly acquire your agency or brand if this would be helpful optically. Profile 2: You’re an extremely strong creative strategist at a brand (or a freelancer). You’ve made 1000s of winning ads. You’ve very organized & can manage people / systems (make things scalable). Your day will be making winning ads with our team, talking with customers, & telling engineers what to build you. Why us? We have top 0.01% engineers that will build you anything you want (icon.com/team): our engineers can get jobs anywhere, but voluntarily eat glass here (7-day work week). No other teams in the space come anywhere close. We’ve built 14+ companies product-wise in the past few months. We have Tier 1 Investors which make it easy for us to work with great brands (icon.com/investors): Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, Mark Chen (OpenAI Chief Research Officer), & leaders of Google DeepMind (Veo), Ramp, & Cognition. This is part of why we have no competition. Founder is crazy (icon.com/story): I love working & spend nearly every waking moment working. I don’t work for money / could retire. Background is college dropout, solo-founding Skio ($20M ARR), top 200 NA LoL, YC S20. Growth is also crazy: we have 1000s of active customers, rapid enterprise growth, & are profitable. This has resulted in 8-figure ARR. We’re trying to be the fastest company to get to $100M ARR. Comment & email kennan@icon.com if you’re a fit or someone you know is a fit. $30K referral (agency / brand owner) or $10K referral (creative strategist) if you make the intro.

[$30K referral] Icon is hiring top 0.01% founding engineers for 7-day work weeks. Even if you're a founder with $1M-$5M ARR, this could be a match (we’ll acquire you). NPC sheeps are screaming we’re failing, but we’re 8-figure ARR 1 year in (incorporated July 31 2024) even with multiple pivots. The current world record for $0 to $100M ARR is 1 year 10 months (Lovable). I think we have a shot at $100M by EoY (1 year 5 months). I thought it’d be hilarious hiding traction until $100M ARR, but I need top 0.01% engineers & hate outbounding so here we are. You’re a full-stack engineer with 0-to-1 experience (e.g. Founding Engineer, Founder) or many side projects. You’re the best engineer in your circle by a lot. I like people that make me feel stupid. If you’re running a startup with $1M-$5M ARR (or maybe more), you should still consider joining us. We’d publicly acquire you if this would be helpful optically. Maybe you’re at a big tech company & checked out. Life is a game. Instead of playing video games after work or on the weekends, consider playing high-adrenaline games in life with us. If you’re neurodivergent (ADHD, Autism / Aspergers, Anxiety Disorder), you’re especially welcome here & you’ll feel right at home. Chip on the shoulder / history as a social outcast is awesome too. People of all ages are welcome, but I’ve seen 15-26 to be the sweet spot for grinding this hard. It’s definitely a tradeoff. The equity opportunity for this role is still meaningful even with our traction (8-figure ARR) & team size (20+) since I started this solo. If you join & are amazing at what you do, I’ll do my best to make sure you don't need to worry about money. I want this to be a $1T+ company so you have a chance at retiring your entire bloodline if we succeed. Your life will be helping top 0.01% creatives / influencers / marketers amplify their leverage. Why us? We have other top 0.01% engineers that you’ll work with (icon.com/team): our engineers can get jobs anywhere, but voluntarily eat glass here (7-day work week). No other teams in the space come anywhere close. We’ve built 14+ companies product-wise in the past few months. We have Tier 1 Investors which make it easy for us to work with great brands (icon.com/investors): Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, Mark Chen (OpenAI Chief Research Officer), & leaders of Google DeepMind (Veo), Ramp, & Cognition. This is part of why we have no competition. Founder is crazy (icon.com/story): I love working & spend nearly every waking moment working. I don’t work for money / could retire. Background is college dropout, solo-founding Skio ($20M ARR), top 200 NA LoL, YC S20. Growth is also crazy: 8-figure ARR / aiming $0 to $100M ARR world record. Comment & email kennan@icon.com if you’re a fit or someone you know is a fit. $30K referral if you make the intro.

[$30K referral] We’re hiring someone with top 0.01% viral sense to help us build the #1 growth team in the world (on top of the #1 product engineering team in the world). The world record for incorporation to $100M ARR is 1 year, 10 months. We aim $100M ARR by EoY to beat this by 6 months (1 year, 4 months). Unlike 99% of jobs, you can do anything to help us go viral, but it must be clever. Our type of humor is things that are true / authentic while polarizing. You either are a creator with repeated viral content / macro-level following (not just dumb luck) or a killer person behind the scenes (e.g. inner circle at a MrBeast-level org). You have a team of 2-10 ready to follow you, and can make me feel stupid. If you’re running a business or agency, we’d publicly acquire you if this would be helpful optically. Your day will be making / strategizing viral content & telling our engineers what to build you. The equity for this role is extremely generous (exec-level) depending on how proven you are. We dream of being a $1T+ company so you have a chance at retiring your entire bloodline (if we succeed). Even if you're making $1M+ per year, this could be a match. Why us? We have top 0.01% engineers that will build you anything you want (icon.com/team): our engineers can get jobs anywhere, but voluntarily eat glass here (7-day work week). No other teams in the space come anywhere close. We’ve built 14+ companies product-wise in the past few months. We have tier 1 investors which make it easy for us to work with great brands (icon.com/investors): Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, Mark Chen (OpenAI Chief Research Officer), Saquon Barkley (NFL), & many influencers. This is part of why we have no competition. Founder is crazy (icon.com/story): I love working & spend nearly every waking moment working. I don’t work for money. Background is college dropout, solo-founding Skio ($20M ARR), top 200 NA LoL, YC S20. Retweet & email kennan@icon.com if you’re a fit or someone you know is a fit. $30K referral if you make the intro.
