The post started a conversation, and the ranking model pays for conversation with reach in the hours after. Bookmarks came in at 303, reposts at 73.
The first line is “Today we are announcing Corma, and our $60M seed round led by @sequoia”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most.
It carries a 44-second 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 42 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.
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.
What viral AI launches share is the guide for it: model launches are the largest category in the directory and travel on the demo. Every launch we track in Frontier Lab is on that vertical's directory page.
