The official release of the app took place in March 2020. Due to its bet on secrecy, akin to elite closed clubs, it immediately gained popularity in narrow circles. At the start, the Clubhouse community was mostly made up of Silicon Valley venture capitalists. Thanks to the attraction of celebrities (Jared Leto, Chris Rock, Drake and even Oprah Winfrey have already become users of the application) the popularity of the service has grown several times. The coronavirus pandemic and quarantine have also become a serious growth factor – people want live communication.
