It starts “today, we’re officially launching @trybountyai, backed by a16z @speedrun”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 1:13 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 603K views in the directory.
The copy runs 40 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 Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 5K followers has to earn every view from outside its own following.
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.
