Slush engagement report
@SlushHQ - 88K followers on X
Measured over 15 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 29, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 2 interactions against 88K followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 15 original posts, its engagement rate beats 7% of 3,775 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 1.2K times each, and 0.168% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.35% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.5 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 15 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 93% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 21 interactions, about 11x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Slush's engagement rate beats 7% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,775 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 4 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 9% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.002%, Slush sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 07:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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.

Founders, the time is now. Applications for Slush 100, the world’s most coveted startup competition, are open. One startup will win €500,000 in front of 12,000 people, equity-free.

Earlier this month, Casimir from the Slush Team was in San Francisco to host Builders Circle together with ICONIQ. The event brought together an inspiring mix of early-stage founders from current and former Y Combinator batches. We talked about how AI agents are changing the way engineers write software, how startups are moving faster than ever, and how younger founders are building increasingly ambitious companies. And while the future of tech was at the center of every discussion, those conversations also reinforced something that doesn't change: some of the best ideas and opportunities spark when ambitious people gather in the same room. A big thank you to the ICONIQ team for hosting us, and to Kashish Gupta for an insightful founder discussion and Q&A 💚 These conversations are sure to continue at Slush.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 2 interactions against 88K followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 15 original posts, its engagement rate beats 7% of 3,775 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 1.2K times each, and 0.168% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.35% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.5 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 15 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 93% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 21 interactions, about 11x its own typical post.
- What is Slush's engagement rate on X?
- Slush (@SlushHQ) has an engagement rate of 0.002%, based on the median interactions across 15 original posts from the last 30 days against 88,489 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.002%, Slush sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @SlushHQ have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 7% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,775 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @SlushHQ post?
- Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.5 posts per day across the measured window.
