What is Clubhouse?

Clubhouse is an audio-based platform that combines different social aspects, including talkback radio and conference calls. The app was launched early last year and has gained popularity since then, primarily because of its exclusivity. It has also recorded a lot of success, as seen from its high number of active users.

Clubhouse was created in April 2020 by Paul Davison and Rohan Seth.

To gain access to Clubhouse, a user requires an invite since the app is currently based on an invite-only module. It is exclusively available on iOS at present although, the company has said that it is planning to develop an Android version.
