About Clubhouse

Clubhouse was founded by Paul Davison and Rohan Seth and was officially launched by software developers Alpha Exploration in April last year. The invite-only app is currently available on iOS and has rapidly gained popularity around the world. The app has seen thousands of users join a chatroom where individuals such as Elon Musk have discussed topics like Bitcoin, the future of Tesla and vaccine rollouts, among other topics. It has also been used by musicians such as Bomani X to host solo concerts or collaborate with other musicians.
