Kory Mitchell - Founder | CEO

Kory is a proven business builder, strategic growth expert, and trusted advisor who has walked the exact path he now helps other Founders navigate.  With over 25 years in the specialty contracting industry, Kory has experienced the full entrepreneurial journey—from building a small regional business into a nationally recognized brand to a nine figure transaction.  Like most business owners, Kory learned along the way, working very closely with his dad and brother to grow both organically and through small acquisitions.  In 2019 the business merged with another regional leader to form EIS Holdings.  They continued the growth journey and ultimately had a very successful financial exit in 2021.  Kory transitioned the CEO role in 2024.  Today the business thrives as a $200 million leader in the environmental services space. 

Since that time, many business owners have asked for advice on how they might run a similar playbook.  Many leaders struggle with how to take their business to the next level through acquisitions, or how to sell their business without destroying the legacy of the brand.  As a result, Iconic Founders Group was born.  Instead of going it alone, business owners now have someone who thinks and talks like they do, someone who can be in their corner as an advocate.
