Clubhouse, the buzzy, invite-only, billion-dollar chat app, is now available to everyone by abebrown716
... [+]As status symbols come and go, a Clubhouse invite ranked pretty highly over the past year. But the velvet rope is coming down: Starting Wednesday, everyone can download the audio chat app, marking a significant new chapter for the year-old startup as it contends with the high expectations fastened to it by investors and high-profile users.
Clubhouse launched in March 2020 as an invite only app but nonetheless became an overnight hit among Silicon Valley elite, offering them an exclusive place to gather during the pandemic. A month later, it had 5,000 users—and. A year later, its valuation had swelled to $4 billion, according to PitchBook data, and the app had become the place to be heard, attracting celebrities like Drake and Oprah and business luminaries such as Mark Cuban and even competitor Mark Zuckerberg.
Despite limiting access, the app has been downloaded more than 20 million times since debuting, half of those coming from Android users in the last two months, according to new figures released by the company on Wednesday and data from Sensor Tower. Users are creating 500,000 public and private rooms—places on the app for hosting the audio conversations—each day, a nearly 70% increase since May.
While Clubhouse has proven successful during the pandemic, it faces an unsettled future. The world is returning to its normal social patterns: leaving the house, seeing people face to face. When those many types of interactions were impossible or unwise during Covid-19 lockdowns, Clubhouse offered a replacement for them. It’s left to be seen if users will approach the site with the same enthusaism now that those interactions are possible again.
