I used to bring airplane desktop models to our investor pitches. A seed investor tipped the airplane back, held it vertically, and asked me why it didn’t take off that way. Then he took a call to yell at his wife’s dentist during the pitch.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Turn shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
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: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Turn
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, punchy
Written for: Founders and early-stage teams
