What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 10K followers. It was seen 2576.5 times over. For 5K to 25K followers the median reach is 50.8 times the following.

This launch beat that by 50.8 times. It ranks 2 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 36.9 times the median of 688K views.

Every response ran below the directory's usual rate: 2K bookmarks, 786 replies, 441 quotes and 679 reposts against 4K 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.

It starts “we've raised $50M from Khosla Ventures, Accel, Initialized, Kevin Weil, DST Global”. It carries no media, which leaves the ranking model nothing to hold a reader with past the first line. The copy runs 26 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 Friday. Launches posted on a Friday have a median of 880K views in the directory, which makes it the strongest day.

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 whether a launch needs a video: 99% of the launches in the directory carry one, and the guide is about when the 1% is the right call. Virality without conversion is the guide for it: reach that outruns response is the pattern this guide is about.
