It starts “Today, we’re announcing that Forus has raised a $150M Series C at a $3B valuation to build the…”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most.
It carries a 1:59 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory.
The copy runs 41 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.
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 732 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. Every launch we track in Healthtech AI is on that vertical's directory page.
