We are launching Uplift, backed by a $7M seed led by @a16z. We build homes the way cars are built: on a production line. 250 years ago Adam Smith wrote that lodging couldn't travel. A coat is made in one place and worn in another. A home never has. He was right for 250 years.

The post opens with “We are launching Uplift, backed by a $7M seed led by @a16z”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most.

The copy runs 56 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.
