I can’t help but think this is a massive mistake. Clubhouse is going to go the same way Houseparty did eventually. https://t.co/V0lQMphn0F

Here’s what we’ll be able to do w/ this new capital:
— Clubhouse (@joinClubhouse) April 18, 2021
? Support international growth
? Invest in localization & accessibility features
?Launch more programs for Creators to get paid
? Invest deeply in discovery
⚡️Scale our support & community health teams#CHTownhall
This is either genius or stupid af - which makes it a good venture bet - much more interesting than putting capital into a SaaS startup so they can bolster GTM spend https://t.co/IV2LiD0hnB

"A podcast discovery product that will be connected with Spotify, which has invested heavily in podcasting over the last couple years. It’s unclear to me if Facebook intends to do more beyond flagging podcasts for its users and sending them to Spotify"

Extremely rare for a venture firm to lead three consecutive rounds as a16z has done in Clubhouse (Series A at $100M, B at $1B, C at $4B)

The only other example I could think of was Medallia (Sequoia).

Clubhouse announces they closed Series C round of funding. Quadrupled size of team this year. Growth has outpaced discovery algos. "heavily scale our team to grow intl. growth" "invest deeply in discovery to help people find best rooms" [Did not officially disclose $ numbers]

So I guess $fb couldn’t buy @joinClubhouse so now Zuck will go to his “clone and contain or kill” playbook

Look at the timing... funding accounted, clones announced. Zuck really did take notes on the @BillGates vaporware/clone playbook https://t.co/25sJZOERJx

As I reported Friday, Clubhouse CEO confirms this morning in a town hall in the app that they’ve raised a Series C round of funding led by a16z with participation from DST and Tiger Global. @eladgil also invested in the round. https://t.co/TCBnL0e5jB
— Alex Heath (@alexeheath) April 18, 2021
Curious how this plays out with Marc Andreassen being on Facebook’s board and his firm also leading Clubhouse’s (supposedly) gigantic C round. https://t.co/TksgkKY885

Friday story is updated with confirmation from Clubhouse
— Alex Heath (@alexeheath) April 18, 2021
I’m having deja vu from last round in Jan, when we broke on a Friday that Clubhouse was raising at $1b. The company ignored our requests for comment, then announced it on Sunday like they did today https://t.co/TCBnL0e5jB
Facebook’s audio roadmap:
— Peter Kafka (@pkafka) April 18, 2021
*video-conferencing without video
*Clubhouse clone
*short audio snippets you record and drop into your newsfeed
*podcast discovery, in conjunction with Spotify
Announcements coming tomorrow but not all goes live right away. https://t.co/ipG3GxsKnt
