Clubhouse: Siegeszug in Europa
„Audio-only social app Clubhouse takes Europe by storm – But what is the hype all about? And will it last? – The hottest social app in town has turned its growth-hacking sights on the European market, leading to an explosion of growth in recent weeks and with some of the biggest names in tech now hosting regular panels and discussions. – The UK and Germany now have the highest number of app downloads outside of the US (119,548 and 92,659 respectively according to data from App Figures). Last week, Clubhouse became the most downloaded app on German iOS. … ‚But lately, Clubhouse seems to be prioritising user growth in Europe – perhaps because of Twitter Spaces launching this year,‘ says Bajwa, pointing to the number of journalists, politicians, VCs and founders now on the platform. … There are, however, problems with the Clubhouse app that haven’t gone unnoticed by the European tech community. – There’s an obvious dearth of women on the platform, which is ‚hardly surprising considering the app was started by tech bros in Silicon Valley and is passed on through invites,‘ says John Stanley Hunter, fintech journalist at Finance Forward.“
