What this launch shows

Endeavor Optical Network posted this from an account with 670 followers and reached 178.9 times that many people. Accounts of that size usually reach 161.4 times their following, so this is in the normal range.

It ranks 383 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1536 of 1981.

Saves led. 324 people bookmarked it, 27 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: 57 replies, 30 quotes, 46 reposts.

The post opens with “Today we're coming out of stealth with a $10.75M seed co-led by @generalcatalyst and @a16z with support from…”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most.

It carries a 1:18 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 48 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.

Stealth mode startups covers this: a first public post carries years of work, and that story is the asset. For the next one, read launching a product on X from a small account: an account with 670 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.
