Meet dating app founder and CEO Austin Kevitch
Born July 5 1991, Austin Kevitch is an app co-founder and chief executive who hails from Philadelphia. He is also a Bucknell university alum, having studied business management and computer engineering there.
The 31-year-old is best known as a founder of the exclusive dating app Lox Club, which launched in 2020. As explained on the Lox Club website, it is a “members-only” dating app for those who have “ridiculously high standards.”
The idea for the app branched from Kevitch’s personal experience using dating platforms. In an interview with Vogue, he explained after not taking to some apps already on the market, he jokingly created his own.
While the concept for the app started off as a tongue-in-cheek project, it quickly became realised after it went viral on social media, which resulted in masses of applications.
Lox Club is not the only app he’s co-founded
Before launching Lox Club into the dating app market, Kevitch was a co-founder and chief of another app Brighten.
Brighten was a social media-style app which allowed users to send anonymous compliments to their friends. The app was launched in 2015. However, the concept initially came about two years prior after the sudden passing of a friend.
Inspired by how loved ones began sharing memories of them on social media, he created a physical compliment box and began inviting others to write positive messages. Following the exercise, he added he wanted to “extend that feeling to as many people as possible.”
As per a 2017 article by The Huff Post, the app had reportedly been downloaded more than a million times since its release. Blog site Brad Aronson added that the site later went on to reach more than 3 million users with a further 30 million messages aka Brightens had been sent.
Kevitch also previously worked as a product designer on the college scholarship app Scholly.
