CEO Paul Davison unveiled the first creative program of the voice conversation app during Clubhouse’s weekly town hall on Sunday. Clubhouse Creator First will help prospective hosts and creators on the platform build their audiences, connect with brands, and perhaps most importantly, earn their shows.
The accelerator accepts 20 creators, and Clubhouse takes applications until March 31st.
Today’s updates on City Hall:
We are launching our first creative accelerator program, Clubhouse Creator First. We want to support and equip 20 creators with the resources they need to bring their ideas and creativity to life. Details and application here: https://t.co/kmKjQvoUBK– Clubhouse (@joinClubhouse) 14 March 2021
Clubhouse celebrates its first anniversary on March 17 and experienced quite the first year. Its success, particularly among the Silicon Valley VC crowd, has resulted in several similar voice-based applications from larger competitors, including Twitter Spaces announced late last year, and a similar upcoming voice app presumably coming from Facebook.
Davison also said during Sunday City Hall that Clubhouse was embarking on a “world tour”, which hosted its first city hall in Italy on Monday. It also added some product features that users asked for, including link sharing and language filtering. The app also no longer needs access to the phone contacts of users. Now users can invite new people directly to the platform by using the person’s phone number. Davison said users can contact the company to delete previously uploaded contacts, and that a tool to enable users to remove contacts from Clubhouse will be available soon.
Although Clubhouse is inviting only and still not available on Android devices, it was valued at $ 1 billion during a recent funding round.
