At the end of January, Tesla CEO Elon Musk grilled Vlad Tenev, the CEO of investing app Robinhood, about the frenzied trading of GameStop stock. The billionaire tech titans weren’t on TV having their unscripted conversation about one of the biggest stories of the month; they weren’t even on a podcast. Instead, they spoke to a live audience on the new, invite-only, iPhone-only, audio-only app, called Clubhouse.   What exactly is Clubhouse? The next big thing, or the latest flash in the pan? On today’s Brainstorm, hosts Michal Lev-Ram and Brian O’Keefe ask Fortune’s Danielle Abril to show them around the app and explain the hype.  Jon Sakoda, founding partner of venture-capital firm Decibel Partners explains how Clubhouse is the perfect app for pandemic life. It’s hardly a coincidence, then, that the app is valued at a billion dollars, officially making Clubhouse a unicorn startup.   Finally, Eliran Sapir, founder and CEO of Apptopia, discusses how social media startups manage to stick around, despite the competition, and how Clubhouse appears to be measuring up.     Learn more about your ad choices.
