Venture Talks #2 : Voice, The New Consumer Social? A live podcast with VCs, Podcasters, Founders & Serial Entrepreneurs.

VOICE IS HOT, as Josh Constine ex-TechCrunch
pointed out on April 19, 2020 (after Eric Peckham did on Nov
2019),
"Forget the calendar invite. Just jump into a conversation.
That’s the idea powering a fresh batch of social startups poised to
take advantage of our cleared schedules amidst quarantine. But they
could also change the way we work and socialize long after COVID-19
by bringing the free-flowing, ad-hoc communication of parties and
open office plans online. While “Live” has become synonymous with
performative streaming, these new apps instead spread the limelight
across several users as well as the task, game, or discussion at
hand."

Voice-first social networks seems to be the new normal, at least
that's what one is tempted to think when reading the headlines in
2020. The Clubhouse phenomenom has been recently (actually since
the Covid19 outbreak and shelter in place) the most palpable
player (evidence?) in this growing trend.


But wait, is there really something bigger beyond Clubhouse which
is gaining momentum? Is Voice going to be the new Consumer
Social, where your would engage with your Communities, be they
friends, families or like-minded people.. or stangers?
