We co-incidentally launched "Mentza" - a social audio platform in India with 20-minute timed live audio conversations early last year. The community is close-knit and we've had some success at getting the "sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name" vibe going for our power users. Most of our content & culture is averse to casual chit-chat and more focused on peer to peer learning about something that's mutually of interest, or enjoying some local poetry & music. We've been fairly editorial from the start with a focus on meaningful conversations which will always be a core proposition. We raised about $300K in seed in September and we have been humming along since, with monetization coming next month. I'm obviously biased but I think our format is simpler - it's 20 minutes, you set the context, say your piece and talk to upto 5 others and unlimited listeners who can chime in from the live chat. If you want, you can extend for another 5 minutes to wrap up. All the conversations and chat transcripts are publicly available and recorded, so you don't really miss out if you join late or can't make it. The Clubhouse story is great because it's like a lens into the future for similar apps in terms of the challenges that one can expect - curation, spam, lewd content, crypto nonsense, harassment, etc.
