What this launch shows

From an account with 18K followers, this reached 254.5 times the account's own following. Accounts in the same band, 5K to 25K followers, reach a median of 50.8 times their following, so this travelled about 5 times further than usual for its size.

It ranks 25 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 6.7 times the median of 688K views.

Saves led. 8K people bookmarked it, 17.9 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 11.7. A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does.

The rest: 555 replies, 291 quotes, 409 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.9 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.

The first line is “Announcing Cofounder 2: Run an entire company with agents”. It carries a 1:46 video against a directory median of 65 seconds.

Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory. The copy runs 39 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 Monday. Launches posted on a Monday have a median of 618K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

Attributing signups to a launch covers this: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. For the next one, read X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size.
