We raised $3M pre-seed and moved to SF. AI is coming for your job. Maybe in 5 years. Maybe in 15. Nobody knows. But we know this: no great career move ever came from a job board. They came from someone saying “you two should meet.” That’s what @getclera does.

The post opens with “We raised $3M pre-seed and moved to SF”. It carries a 1:27 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 51 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 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 launching a product on X from a small account: an account with 2K followers has to earn every view from outside its own following. Giving people something to reply to is the guide for it: the conversation is what carried this one.
