Advanced AI needs a control layer. Today, Onyx is announcing our $113M Series B led by @BessemerVP, bringing total funding to $153M after growing 4x in the last 4 months. As models become more capable, our mission to control advanced AI becomes increasingly important.
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.

| under 5K followers accounts of a similar size | 627 | 227K | 4.7x | 112 |

What this launch shows
Onyx Security posted this from an account with 50 followers and reached 21412.5 times that many people. The usual multiple for under 5K followers is 161.4.
This one did 132.7 times that. It ranks 112 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: 6 bookmarks, 2 replies, 1 quotes and 4 reposts against 34 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 post opens with “Advanced AI needs a control layer”. It carries an image and no video. 92% of launches in the directory carry a video, so this is the rarer choice, and the few image launches that travelled did it on the strength of the image.
The copy runs 45 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 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 launching a product on X from a small account: an account with 50 followers has to earn every view from outside its own following.
Whether a launch needs a video is the guide for it: 99% of the launches in the directory carry one, and the guide is about when the 1% is the right call. Every launch we track in Enterprise AI is on that vertical's directory page.
