History
Launched in 1995 as ClubNYC.com, Clubplanet was the first site to provide an insider's guide to New York's club and fashion scenes, offering a forum in which people met to discuss nightlife and urban lifestyle.
In May of 1997, Clubplanet.com was created to capitalize on the foundation laid by ClubNYC.com and its members.
Recognizing the increased traffic and demand, the company expanded its proprietary network of guides to include sites for London, Los Angeles, Miami and Seattle.
Currently, Clubplanet serves over 40 markets, with new cities being added all the time.

Dave McCombDave McComb, Clubplanet co-founder and President, started Clubplanet as a simple web site he built in his apartment in 1995.
From its inception, McComb has been instrumental in its development and progression as the hottest nightlife site on the Net.
He brings his technical and business expertise to Clubplanet.com, the Internet's definitive nightlife guide.
As President and CTO, McComb handles both the business details and technical aspects of the company.
McComb grew up just outside of Detroit, Michigan, where he first developed his love of nightlife and music in Detroit's club scene.
Following his graduation from the University of Michigan with a bachelor's degree in computer engineering, McComb moved to New York City to work for Goldman Sachs.
Not content with a "normal" Wall Street job, McComb saw a whole new set of opportunities present themselves with the growing popularity of the Internet.
McComb saw the Internet as a whole new way of bringing nightlife owners and patrons together and formed ClubNYC.com, one of the Internet's first nightlife web sites.
ClubNYC was the first Internet site to offer club-goers an online community and featured the Internet's first nightlife message boards and online guest lists.
As the site expanded, so did its scope and reach into markets beyond New York City, and thus, the site was renamed Clubplanet.com in 1997.
