We raised $4.8M to build @laminalabs and make AI explain with video, not just text. Introducing Simi, the fastest way to make an explainer video. Give it a single prompt or document, and it can generate a one-minute narrated explainer in as little as 20 seconds, in 80+
How it compares
A launch means nothing against no one. These are the launches it is actually comparable to, and where this one sits among them.
| Compared with | Launches | Median views | This one | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Funding announcement the same kind of announcement | 247 | 419K | 2.6x | 72 |
| under 5K followers accounts of a similar size | 627 | 227K | 4.8x | 109 |

What this launch shows
From an account with 3K followers, this reached 319.9 times the account's own following. Accounts in the same band, under 5K followers, reach a median of 161.4 times their following, so this travelled about 2 times further than usual for its size.
It ranks 109 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 1.6 times the median of 688K views.
Every response ran below the directory's usual rate: 509 bookmarks, 124 replies, 57 quotes and 130 reposts against 900 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 first line is “We raised $4.8M to build @laminalabs and make AI explain with video, not just text”. It carries a 1:34 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. 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 Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K 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.
Virality without conversion is the guide for it: reach that outruns response is the pattern this guide is about. Every launch we track in Creative AI is on that vertical's directory page.
