Saves led. 236 people bookmarked it, 60.5 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: 29 replies, 6 quotes, 23 reposts. One bookmark for every 1.2 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
The post opens with “Today we announce @trykashu to the world, having raised exactly $0”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 1:57 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory.
The copy runs 49 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 Wednesday. Launches posted on a Wednesday have a median of 721K 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 attributing signups to a launch: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product.
Giving people something to reply to is the guide for it: the conversation is what carried this one. Every launch we track in Fintech is on that vertical's directory page.
