What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 7K followers. It was seen 1596.4 times over. For 5K to 25K followers the median reach is 50.8 times the following.

This launch beat that by 31.5 times. It ranks 8 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 15.9 times the median of 688K views.

Quote posts led, 1K of them at 1.1 per 10,000 views against a median of 1.3.

People were adding their own take, which is how a launch gets argued about and carried into audiences the account does not have. Bookmarks: 7K. Reposts: 434.

It starts “We raised $1M dollars to reinvent how people read”. It carries a 2:45 video against a directory median of 65 seconds.

Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory. The copy runs 20 words, shorter than 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 X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Consumer AI is on that vertical's directory page.
