The first line is “Today, I’m excited to share that we’ve raised a $4.5 Million seed round led by @2048vc and @RangeVC…”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most.
It carries a 1:44 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory.
The copy runs 23 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 Tuesday. Launches posted on a Tuesday have a median of 651K 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 351 followers has to earn every view from outside its own following. X analytics explained is the guide for it: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size.
