The Launch Post
The post as it was read, shown as written.
3 months ago, I sold my 1st company, Skio, for $105M cash. Now my 2nd company, Icon, just raised $30M to launch something the world has never seen. For $1000, we make 6 human creator ads (no AI, 100% real). We find creators, ship products, write scripts, & edit videos. It's risk-free: - Full refund if you don't love your ads. - You don't pay until you review 6 scripts. - Unlimited human revisions. Today, Icon introduces the world's first Agency. We're not building a normal agency: - We bought a $12M domain. - We're backed by Founders Fund and OpenAI + Google DeepMind leaders. It’s impossible to hire a creative team like ours for even $30K/mo: - Creative Directors who've worked with $100M brands (IM8, Obvi, Ridge). They update our format library daily based on winning ads (street interviews, skits, & 20+ more). - 12+ scriptwriters with $80M in Meta adspend. - 200+ in-house editors who've edited 100K ads. One more thing... We're giving away our internal Google Drive with 1000 winning ads that have driven $100M+ in revenue. You can make $100K copying these ads if you know what you're doing. Want the Google Drive? 1. Retweet this post. 2. Comment "icon". 3. DM me this post’s link & I'll DM you back with the Google Drive. [Bonus] Get 3 free human creator ads if you do the above and we end up working together.
