Today, I am excited to share that @joinBunkerhill has raised $55 million from @vkhosla at @khoslaventures, @Alfred_Lin from @sequoia, @ycombinator, and other amazing investors. Over the past year, we have partnered with more than a dozen health systems and grown revenue 20x.

What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 1K followers. It was seen 76.6 times over. For under 5K followers the usual multiple is 161.4, so the ranking model showed this to fewer strangers than it shows most launches.

It ranks 422 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1617 of 1981.

Replies led. 42 of them, 4.9 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 180, reposts at 32.

It starts “Today, I am excited to share that @joinBunkerhill has raised $55 million from @vkhosla at @khoslaventures, @Alfred_Lin from…”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most.

It carries a 1:50 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory.

The copy runs 43 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.

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 1K 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 Healthtech AI is on that vertical's directory page.
