What this launch shows
Eric Nguyen posted this from an account with 5K followers and reached 512.1 times that many people. The usual multiple for 5K to 25K followers is 50.8.
This one did 10.1 times that. It ranks 58 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 3.7 times the median of 688K views.
Every response ran below the directory's usual rate: 497 bookmarks, 155 replies, 82 quotes and 297 reposts against 1K likes. The post was seen more than it was acted on, which is common for a launch that reaches past the people who care about the category.
The post opens with “Together with my co-founders Michael @MichaelPoli6, Stefano @Massastrello and Armin @athmsx, I am excited to announce @RadicalNumerics is…”.
It carries an image and no video. 92% of launches in the directory carry a video, so this is the rarer choice, and the few image launches that travelled did it on the strength of the image.
The copy runs 42 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 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 whether a launch needs a video: 99% of the launches in the directory carry one, and the guide is about when the 1% is the right call.
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.
