Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 4 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 20 interactions against 498K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Posts are seen about 7.1K times each, and 0.276% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.42% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 20% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 4 posts sampled, 25% carry an image or video and 50% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 4.5K interactions, about 225x its own typical post. Only 4 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 22:00 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.

We’ve raised a $310M Series B to accelerate world models! We believe AI that can understand and simulate the world will be one of the most important technologies of our time. We're excited to partner with Natural Capital, Amazon, GV, AMD, IQT, and others to bring this to life. https://t.co/788Mt2Tyxs

Fireworks AI (@FireworksAI_HQ) just closed a $1.5B Series D at a $17.5B valuation. 40 trillion tokens a day, 95%+ specialized models running in production. @lqiao was on our Startup Grind Conference stage this year, incredible to watch what's come since. Huge one 👏

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 🧵

Everyone's obsessed with the AI stack right now. Infrastructure, agents, models, who's building on what. Useful. But it quietly skips the part that actually decides which startups make it and which ones don't. Three layers nobody maps 🧵

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. 🌟

Everyone's building with AI right now. Very few founders can answer one question: which layer are you building on? Infrastructure: models, compute. The giants own it, that fight's over. Agents: tools on top. Great demos, brutal to defend. Companies: your data, your distribution, an edge no model update can erase. We've spent 15 years around founders, and the pattern doesn't change: the people who win aren't the ones with the best tech. They're the ones who turn it into a company. Which layer are you on? 👇

Every chapter has a heartbeat. And behind it, a person who shows up. Month after month, city after city, opening the door so no founder ever has to walk this path alone. With over 600 chapters around the world, Startup Grind is only as strong as the people leading them. This year's Directors of the Year. 🌟 Alexandra Poelstra, Carlos Zarate, David Stengle, Rajiv Nathan, Corey Hart, Daniel Gomez, Michael Thaney, James Gee, Sid Khaitan, Reuben Levinsohn, Emma Loedel and Jason Kraus. Thank you for everything you give to this community. 🫶

. @tvmjames brought The School of Hard Knocks to the Startup Grind Conference and did what only he does: cold-approached billionaires in the hallways. @amasad. @justinkan. @aplusk. All in one video 🧵
