Clubhouse is where founders go to chat.
Upon its launch last March, the social app quickly became popular among investors, who hold regular, live audio-only discussions, called rooms, in some cases within various topics of interest to groups called clubs.
Business owners soon followed, building a roster of virtual educational events and places to hone their storytelling skills, commiserate about entrepreneurial life, and share experiences with the likes of high-profile users like Daymond John and Jason Fried.
If you can get an invitation Kristin Marquet Chester, owner of New York City-based Marquet Media, recommends starting by asking your closest friends and then making requests on social media if needed here are three types of rooms and clubs worth checking out for entrepreneurs. To find these events in the app, search for the relevant speakers or the name of the club.
