Twitter has started negotiations to buy Clubhouse in recent months. Sources close to the subject shared that Twitter offered to buy Clubhouse with a valuation of $ 4 billion during the interviews.
As the talks ended after the proposal, the Twitter spokesperson refused to comment on the issue. The Clubhouse representative, on the other hand, keeps silent against questions about purchasing. Rumors are that Clubhouse is seeking investment over a $ 4 billion valuation.
Let us remind you that Clubhouse, which reached 8 million downloads last February, is only available on the iOS platform. The social network, which is rapidly expanding its user base, also owes this to content producers, technology leaders and celebrities on its platform.
Hollywood star Ashton Kutcher, who are among the investors of the initiative, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the Clubhouse sessions at the invitation of Andreessen Hororowitz, played an important role in the interest of the users.
Clubhouse, which started an acceleration program for content producers last month, thinks that you can strengthen your hand in competition with social network giants who have been trying to imitate themselves for a while. Considering that content producers can drag large audiences after them, we can say that Clubhouse is moving forward with a broader user base.
Still, a tough competitive process awaits the initiative. Because the company is preparing to compete with the Clubhouse clone Spaces, as well as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and even Slack.
Spaces, which has shown the most improvement compared to others for now, is still in beta. This gives Clubhouse enough time to build its own revenue models.
Clubhouse, which still accepts its users via invitation, has not yet been opened to Android users. While the Clubhouse is expected to open to Android users this month, it is possible that we will see a rapid growth in the user base.
Also, I would like to introduce a little bit by opening a separate parenthesis to Clubhouse.
Clubhouse, which has become the rising star of social networks in a short time, will make a name for itself in the coming years. Standing out with its strong investors and successful founders, Clubhouse continues to receive support from its investors. Social network investor Andreessen Horowitz decided to hire a new producer to produce content on the Clubhose and turn the produced content into a selection.
According to the job posting on the website, he's looking for an early adopter, audio-driven content-savvy producer to lead the firm's media strategy at Clubhouse. This person will work closely with the firm's partners and portfolio companies to separate guests, develop shows, and try out new types of storytelling on the app.
It is also useful to mention the features sought for those who are considering applying. Candidates for producers are expected to have strong communication and project management skills, as well as knowledge and intuition in the field of social media and a keen sense of filtering events.
Andreessen Horowitz influence on the success of the Clubhouse
In fact, as with all other social networks, building a team for content production is one of the most important steps Clubhouse can take. For a while, users have been tired of the speakers on the platform and the stereotypical events that are similar to each other.
Considering that the company has a rapid growth momentum, Andreessen Horowitz is quick to take this step. Originally used only by a group of innovators in Silicon Valley, the app has grown tremendously with the influence of celebrities and opinion leaders on the platform. Clubhouse, which you can only join by invitation, reached 10 million downloads in a short time.
Earlier this month, the company hired Sriram Krishnan, who hosts a popular night chat show on the app, as its newest unlimited liability partner. We can say that the content team will continue to expand after the new producer. However, Andreessen Horowitz remains silent about this new restructuring for the time being.
As a result, we will wait and see the result of this proposal by twitter. I personally think this offer will be positive.
I am waiting for your likes and comments.
I think Twitter will grow even bigger with the addition of this.
