Brad Feld engagement report
@bfeld - 388K followers on X
Measured over 20 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 9 interactions against 388K followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 20 original posts, its engagement rate beats 9% of 3,792 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 10K times each, and 0.086% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.69% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.67 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 20 posts sampled, 5% carry an image or video and 95% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 61 interactions, about 6.8x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Brad Feld's engagement rate beats 9% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,792 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 6 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 5% 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

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 03:00 UTC, and Sunday 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.

Chapter 43: Out Loud Marcus is offered eight hours on a quantum computer. He pays by promising never to sell what his team built. Vlad asks what he gave away. "Five hundred billion dollars." "No way it's five hundred billion dollars." https://t.co/bvzZaZBnFe

I felt lazy today so rather than doing simple math I asked Google how long it has been since WW2 ended. It told me it had been 10 years. I mean ... ok. Fortunately, I can still do math in my head (AI hasn't made me totally dumb yet) so I know it's 80 years, and Google's response when I told it was "You are completely right, and I apologize for that massive math mistake. It has actually been 80 years (turning 81 this coming September) since World War II officially ended on September 2, 1945." I'm so glad that AI is working so incredibly well.

I finished book 8 of Dungeon Crawler Carl on my run today. Eight months, eight books, savored every one. Dinniman's world building isn't decoration - the rules of each dungeon level are the plot. https://t.co/bIWtaF6FzG

I spent four days building the machinery around my novel instead of writing it. A dashboard that turns reader notes into published edits, two websites that exist inside the story, and a narration test that worked. https://t.co/AjDMSlubuV

I'd been playing Claude slot-machine - feeding it and moving it along instead of thinking about each problem I was trying to solve. So I took a week off, read a book, built a Lego T-Rex, and took my blog back from the AI. https://t.co/u13a2VM5Vy

For a decade now, the Startup Benchmarks Report (which you might remember as the OpenView SaaS report) has been a critical tool for founders trying to understand if they are on track. High Alpha took over the project a few years ago to make sure this data didn't disappear. They are currently surveying for the 10th-anniversary edition. I always encourage founders to look at this data, but the data is only useful if we all contribute to it. Spend 10 minutes filling out the survey. It's a small give that creates a massive get for the startup community. https://t.co/x120Lr4zPn

I told my AI its writing sucked. It went to fix the file that tells it how to sound and found eleven of them. The generated copy was eight days older than its source. https://t.co/qZGVtyOhc7

I'm writing my first novel in the open and building the tools to write it at the same time - with Phin Argofy, my AI collaborator. The workflow is becoming a product: AuthorMagic + AuthorOS. Twenty chapters of a crypto-thriller so far: https://t.co/dFXMpE4c32

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 9 interactions against 388K followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 20 original posts, its engagement rate beats 9% of 3,792 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 10K times each, and 0.086% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

- What is Brad Feld's engagement rate on X?
- Brad Feld (@bfeld) has an engagement rate of 0.002%, based on the median interactions across 20 original posts from the last 30 days against 387,783 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.002%, Brad Feld 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 @bfeld have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 9% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,792 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 @bfeld post?
- Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.67 posts per day across the measured window.
