Hallow is a Catholic audio prayer app that seeks to compete with secular meditation apps like Calm and Headspace.
The app was founded by Alex Jones and Erich Kerekes , a former Notre Dame student at Notre Dame .
Jones was an atheist and a technocratic consultant at McKinsey & Company .
He left his job to join his friend and co-founder to create the app.
Ellie Gardey Holmes: The founders quit their jobs at McKinsey and Goldman Sachs to found a Catholic app.
The founders attended Mass at the University of Notre Dame to try to make some business connections among fellow Catholics .
Jones, who is the largest individual equity holder in Hallow , announced that he would give all of his equity and ownership in the app back to the Catholic Church .
Jones: “All of this was a gift given to me by the Lord and His Church,” he said.
