The post opens with “Today I'm announcing Alma's $17M Series A”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 1:54 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory.
The copy runs 28 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. There is a link in the body, which costs a post some reach and buys it a place to send people.
It went out on a Tuesday. Launches posted on a Tuesday have a median of 651K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
How to announce a funding round covers this: the round is the news and the post has to turn it into customers and hires.
For the next one, read attributing signups to a launch: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. Giving people something to reply to is the guide for it: the conversation is what carried this one.
