The clubhouse at its weekly town hall meeting announced its first creator accelerator program. Clubhouse Creator First will support and equip 20 creators on the platform with resources. Clubhouse co-founder Paul Davidson said the selected creators will get access to resources like equipment, assistance in developing ideas, and connecting them with relevant brands for sponsorship. These creators will also get a monthly income of around $5,000 as part of this program. There’s also a section in the application form that asks creators to select up to three resource tools they need the most. These include booking guests, post-show analytics, mentorship, training, recording features, and more.

The clubhouse also announced new features during the town hall. It has added support for sharing links to your profile or club. Language filtering is also now available making it easier for users to join rooms of their preferred language. Clubhouse users can also invite contacts via their phone numbers now.

Another feature is nominating users from clubs. It will now display the name of your club on the nomination badge of the person invited to join your club. There are also new tools added to detect abuse on the platform. Clubhouse also highlighted its one-year anniversary that’s on March 17. Clubhouse is still invite-only and available only on iOS. The app first took off among the Silicon Valley VC crowd and has since become popular among users worldwide. It also led to other companies developing Clubhouse-like platforms including Twitter Spaces that’s launching to all Android and iOS users soon, and Mark Cuban’s Fireside.
