What to expect from VC fundraising due to COVID19? What I'm telling founders that ask - the quick answer is, the shortsighted VCs will panic and stop doing deals, the good VCs will keep calm and carry on. But, there are a decent number of shortsighted VCs so plan accordingly.

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Leads with a specific number, which is concrete enough to be worth a second of attention.
Contradicts something the audience already believes, which stops the scroll.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Leads with a number
Structure: Hook → Turn
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
Mechanisms: Pattern interrupt
Written for: Founders and early-stage teams
