It starts “Today, we’re launching an ambitious new school called The Horowitz Andreessen Academy”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most.

The copy runs 44 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it.

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.
