Clockout App CEO Krishna Dosapati today addressed a growing misconception circulating online that the platform requires users to earn at least $80,000 in annual revenue or salary to gain access. Krishna clarified that the claim is false and reiterated that the Clockout App was designed for ambitious professionals at every stage of their careers, regardless of income level.
“Clockout is built for people who want to meet the right collaborators, mentors, and peers in their city,” Krishna Dosapati said. “Ambition doesn’t come with a salary threshold. We’ve never required users to make $80K.”
The rumor appears to have originated from a random social media post suggesting that the average salary among some users on the Clockout App is around $80K - information that was widely misinterpreted as a joining requirement. Krishna emphasized that the statistic, even if referenced in passing, was never meant to imply exclusivity or eligibility rules. “It was taken out of context and quickly turned into something it wasn’t,” she added.
Clockout Social App positions itself as a next-generation professional networking platform centered on real-world connection rather than online self-promotion. Instead of traditional feeds, cold outreach, or sales-driven messaging, the app relies on AI-powered local introductions to bring together people who are likely to benefit from knowing one another. The platform also supports city-based professional communities, providing tools for organizing events, fostering collaboration, and building long-term business relationships.
Since launching in beta, Clockout has approached half a million downloads and surpassed $1 million in annual recurring revenue - milestones Krishna Dosapati credits to broad accessibility rather than restricted membership.
According to the company, its user base includes professionals, freelancers, first-time founders, consultants, career switchers, and senior operators alike. “That range is exactly what makes these communities powerful,” Krishna said. “People learn from each other because they come from different places in their professional journeys.”
In response to the rumor, Clockout App has initiated a coordinated communications effort to ensure accurate information is readily available. The Clockout has updated its website and onboarding flows with clearer language around eligibility, published a dedicated FAQ addressing the $80K revenue required rumor, and briefed community hosts and support teams so they can correct the misconception in conversations with new members.
Transparency, Krishna Dosapati noted, is central to how Clockout App operates as it scales. “We don’t want anyone deciding not to try the platform because of something they saw in a comment thread,” she said. “If people have questions, we want them to find straightforward answers immediately.”
User feedback has played a significant role in shaping both the product and the company’s messaging strategy. Clockout Social App CEO Krishna Dosapati says they regularly hear from members who joined while still building their careers.
For anyone who hesitated to download the app because of the $80K revenue requirement rumor, the CEO encouraged them to explore the platform firsthand without worrying about income-based gates. “Let the product speak for itself,” Krishna Dosapati said. “If you’re motivated to grow professionally and build real relationships, Clockout App is for you.”
As part of its ongoing effort to keep information accurate, the company will continue monitoring online discussions, publishing clarifications when needed, and expanding its FAQ resources. Krishna Dosapati believes that proactive communication benefits not only Clockout but the broader startup ecosystem by preventing talented individuals from excluding themselves based on misconceptions.
“Strong professional networks are built when people from many backgrounds come together,” she concluded. “Our goal is to make those connections easier to form in every city we serve. There’s no $80K revenue required to be part of that - just curiosity, ambition, and a willingness to engage.”
With its renewed emphasis on transparency and inclusion, Clockout App hopes the message is now unmistakable: the platform is open to professionals at all stages, and income has never been a prerequisite for participation.
