What this launch shows

Telli posted this from an account with 1.6M followers and reached about 3.5% of them. The median for over 100K followers is 2.4 times, so this one stayed closer to home than most.

It ranks 583 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1683 of 1981.

Replies led. 30 of them, 5.3 per 10,000 views against a median of 2.3.

The post started a conversation, and the ranking model pays for conversation with reach in the hours after. Bookmarks came in at 140, reposts at 17.

The first line is “Congrats to @tellidotcom on their $15M seed”. It carries a 1:51 video against a directory median of 65 seconds.

Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory. The copy runs 41 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.

Attributing signups to a launch covers this: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. For the next one, read giving people something to reply to: the conversation is what carried this one.

Why posts from large accounts under-reach is the guide for it: a post seen by fewer people than follow the account was held back by the ranking model. Every launch we track in Enterprise AI is on that vertical's directory page.
