What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 80K followers. It was seen 8.5 times over. For 25K to 100K followers the usual multiple is 20.9, so the ranking model showed this to fewer strangers than it shows most launches.

It ranks 166 of 264 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1005 of 1981.

Replies led. 134 of them, 2 per 10,000 views against a median of 2.3. The post started a conversation, and the ranking model pays for conversation with reach in the hours after.

Bookmarks came in at 281, reposts at 127. One bookmark for every 4.5 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.

It starts “Today, we're launching Base Core, our own battery designed & built in Texas, and announcing our $1B Series…”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most.

It carries a 29-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 850K views in the directory.

The copy runs 51 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 Monday. Launches posted on a Monday have a median of 618K 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 X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size.
