Kevitch excelled in football throughout high school and was selected as one of the nation’s top players to compete inGlobal Bowl Franceon the USA National Football Team, Kevitch’sLinkedInnotes.
After high school, he attended Bucknell University where he studied business management, computer engineering, and psychology from 2010 to 2014. During college, he jetted off to South Africa to study philosophy at the University of Cape Town in 2013.
He is the founder of the app Brighten
In addition to being the co-founder and CEO of the Lox Club dating app, he’s also the founder of Brighten, an app that captures the hearts of the public in a different way.
The app is a platform for friends to compliment each other anonymously, an antidote to social media bullying. “It feels good to make someone smile,” the Brighten tagline reads.
The idea came to Kevitch when he was a junior at Bucknell in 2013. After his friend passed away from a rock climbing accident, the tech mogul noticed an immense amount of heartfelt messages left on his Facebook page — something that he wished his friend could’ve seen if he were still alive, theNew York Timesreported.
He initially created the Lox Club dating app as a joke
“I was at the age where my grandma would joke, ‘When are you going to bring home a nice Jewish girl?'” he toldBustleof how he thought of the app. Interestingly enough, he noted: “I don’t like dating apps; they’re very inorganic and awkward.”
Hence the reason why he wanted to create a fun, immersive experience where users don’t take themselves so seriously and potentially meet people as a result.
Despite Lox Club being marketed as a Jewish dating app — or “The Jewish Raya,” perVogue— the motto of the members-only app states that the service is for everyone, specifically those with “ridiculously high standards.”
