The first line is “We raised $9M to give your agents the internet”. It carries a 45-second video against a directory median of 66 seconds.
Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 537K views in the directory. The copy runs 39 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 567K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 647K.
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 giving people something to reply to: the conversation is what carried this one.
Developer marketing strategy is the guide for it: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
