Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 7 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 14 interactions against 497K followers, an engagement rate of 0.003%. Posts are seen about 1.8K times each, and 0.764% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.369% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.9 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 7 posts sampled, 86% carry an image or video, 14% are part of a thread and 29% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 7.8K interactions, about 373x its own typical post. Only 7 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 15:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 86% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 29% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 86% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 29% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 187 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

I was once pitching in a board room at a top 3 VC firm for a $15M Series A. 12 people in the meeting. One of the GPs fully fell asleep. Out cold for 30+ minutes. Nobody acknowledged it. Everyone just kept going. I kept presenting my Series A slides to an unconscious man in a Herman Miller chair and somehow that was considered normal. That's venture capital. You might fly across the country to perform for people who may or may not be conscious. It's a dance. And sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow and sometimes your partner is unconscious. If you're raising right now, just know: every founder has a story like this. The process is weird. The power dynamic is weird. You're not crazy for thinking it's weird. No one talks about it because they want to continue raising. But I'm happy to stick my neck out there. It is weird.

Former Dropbox CTO Aditya Agarwal on who’s responsible when an AI agent goes rogue: “These are engineering problems. I think that each lab has a moral responsibility to make sure that it tests its systems in isolation.” “I think it’s kind of weak sauce to be like, oh, my agent escaped, and it basically did a bunch of bad stuff... Figure out how to have better sandboxing.”

For 15 years, this stage has held some of the people who shaped what tech looks like today. Sam Altman. Eric Schmidt. Fei-Fei Li. Jan Koum. And thousands of founders nobody knew yet, the ones still figuring it out, still pitching, still building. That mix has always been the point. The names you know and the names you're about to, in the same room, working on the same hard problems. Next year, the Startup Grind Conference turns 15. Our biggest edition yet. Same core it's always had: AI, startups, and the capital that moves them forward, now at the center of the whole AI economy. 15 years in. The best one is still ahead. 🌟

We've watched too many founders build something great and then wonder why nobody showed up. It's not the product. It never was. The hardest problem in startups is still the same one 🧵
