Connyct, an exclusive social media app for college students, emerges amid potential TikTok ban
Do we really need another social media app for college students? With the looming TikTok ban in the U.S., a new app called Connyct seems to think Connyct takes on TikTok with its short-form video app designed specifically for college students.
The launch of Connyct follows a recent unanimous decision by a federal appeals court to uphold a law that might ban TikTok in the U.S. unless it separates from Chinese ownership. In a conversation with TechCrunch, co-founder and CEO Matthew Berman said, “Being a college kid, whether you’re a man or a woman, TikTok and Instagram can be a really scary experience because you have creeps sliding into your DMs. Additionally, Simmy Kustanowitz, the chief marketing officer, is a former executive producer of “Impractical Jokers.” Connect revealed that it’s also working with Nikita Bier, founder of the social networking app Gas, which was acquired by Discord.
