The entrepreneur's guide to Clubhouse

INC. THIS MORNING The entrepreneur's guide to Clubhouse Good morning, Clubhouse is where founders go to chat.  Upon its launch last March, the social app quickly became popular among investors, who hold regular, live audio-only discussions. Business owners soon followed, building a roster of virtual educational events and places to hone their storytelling skills, commiserate about the challenges of entrepreneurial life, and share experiences with the likes of high-profile users like Daymond John and Jason Fried. The app is invite-only right now, so your first step is to get an invitation. Kristin Marquet Chester, owner of New York-based Marquet Media, recommends starting by asking your closest friends and then making requests on social media if needed. Once you’re in, you’ll need to know where to go--and we’ve got you covered.
