We've raised $8.4m to make software that sharpens your attention. We're starting with an email app that lets you handle your Gmail inbox in seconds. We call it Avec. It's available now!

The post opens with “We've raised $8.4m to make software that sharpens your attention”. It carries a 2:00 video against a directory median of 65 seconds.
Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory. The copy runs 33 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41.
The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it. It went out on a Wednesday. Launches posted on a Wednesday have a median of 721K 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 launching a product on X from a small account: an account with 4K followers has to earn every view from outside its own following.
Attributing signups to a launch is the guide for it: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. Every launch we track in Consumer AI is on that vertical's directory page.
