What this launch shows

From an account with 3K followers, this reached 56.7 times the account's own following. The median for under 5K followers is 161.4 times, so this one stayed closer to home than most.

It ranks 349 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1470 of 1981.

Replies led. 117 of them, 7.2 per 10,000 views against a median of 2.3.

The post started a conversation, and the ranking model pays for conversation with reach in the hours after. Bookmarks came in at 145, reposts at 75.

The first line is “We just raised a $150M Series C at a $1.2B valuation led by Prysm Capital and co-led by…”. It carries a 1:54 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory.

The copy runs 50 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 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 3K followers has to earn every view from outside its own following. Giving people something to reply to is the guide for it: the conversation is what carried this one.
