The program aims to support and equip 20 creators with the resources they need to have good conversations, build their audience and generate income, per clubhouse. The deadline for submitting applications is March 31.

In addition to announcing its accelerator program, Clubhouse has also shared some product updates. Users can now share a link to their profiles or clubs and invite new users to the platform via their phone number.

Users can contact the company to ask it to delete previously uploaded contacts, reported the rand, and a tool to delete previously uploaded contacts is in the works. In addition, Clubhouse remembers the language of the rooms that users are often members of and filter the others.
