@sfakkawi A couple more thoughts from me!

[Sami @sfakkawi]

Our fundraise announcement generated $8M+ in pipeline and we added $500K ARR just in the 7 days after. What worked:

1/ Launch is not 1 day, it's 6 weeks. Plan 3 weeks of content before and 3 weeks of content after, activate entire team. Product launches, content, research, employee highlights, company building, case studies, etc.

2/ Ask people who are close to you to find your launch post organically (watch the video first, if there is one), then like, then 2 sentence comment, then repost without thoughts, then share

3/ People who are friendly but you can't ask them to do all that... (customers, friends, etc.): put them all in a luma and send them the link once you post. We had everyone put F&F into an excel and got to about 400 RSVPs on the luma

4/ Influencers are good if you have budget

5/ Investors, employees, close friends, should all make individual posts in the 2-3 days following the announcement

6/ Run automated LI connection campaigns for 90 days prior to launch - build a network of your ICP before you go live (@rvmie_ and I added about 3K followers between the two of us from connecting with ppl on LI ahead of launch)

We at @petra_labs raised $5.2M because one-size-fits-all software doesn’t work in zero-sum games like AI Search.

The greatest AI companies of the future will sell results, not software.

Congratulations to Sami and the Petra Labs team on their $5.2m seed round to solve attribution for AI search

Based on what they're already doing for some industry-leading clients, it's clear they have strong product-market fit

When I met Sami at Tech Breakfast Club earlier this year I had a million questions about Chatgpt and Claude attribution. Some months, 30 to 40% of my law firm's new clients come from AI recommendations. Yet, compared to traditional SEO there's almost zero visibility.

Every company is scrambling to get insight into this new growth channel

[rishi @rishipenmetcha]

excited to announce @petra_labs raised $5.2M to become the 18th VC-backed AEO start-up and the 1st to drive measurable revenue.

thank you to our customers for trusting us with such an important growth channel

AI search is 1% of what it'll be, we're just getting started.

@GabrielIbarra98 Not saying anything is justified cause I know how you feel, USC subio tuition for 7.5k mid pandemic and I too think its bs

@GabrielIbarra98 ...aparte del investment que es montar y mantener una online platform en todos los sentidos (no solo es blackboard). Por que decis que intl. students got the short end? Sabes si mucha gente tomo gap sem/Leave of Absence?
