Our founder
Mitchell Everts.
Inventor. Builder. Connector.
Mitchell Everts founded Intellectual Capital Management to connect invention with the work required to bring it to market. A named inventor on multiple issued and pending patents, he leads ICM’s product development, intellectual property strategy, and commercialization efforts.
His approach centers on building the right team around an opportunity. That means connecting engineers, manufacturers, IP counsel, industry advisors, and prospective licensees, then keeping their work focused on a shared commercial objective.
Through ICM, Mitchell is developing a model for turning proprietary innovations into enduring assets, with Easy Tab representing the company’s flagship work in beverage packaging.
