What this launch shows
From an account with 2K followers, this reached 1640.9 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 10.2 times further than usual for its size.
It ranks 25 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 4.2 times the median of 688K views.
Every response ran below the directory's usual rate: 634 bookmarks, 163 replies, 72 quotes and 119 reposts against 1K 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 “Today we’re launching Parallax, the AI energy company with a $117m fundraise led by Founders Fund, Eclipse, Lux,…”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most.
It carries a 1:33 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory.
The copy runs 25 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.
Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 2K followers has to earn every view from outside its own following.
