Just raised a new round? Congrats. 
Now the truth: most funding announcements barely register. A generic press release. A templated LinkedIn post. Maybe a logo collage if someone on your team has time. That’s it. And it’s a missed opportunity.
A funding round isn’t just about money in the bank. It’s a market signal. Your investors, partners, future hires, and competitors are watching. The question is: will they notice?
In our experience, the difference between crickets and a real market moment usually comes down to one thing: preparation.
Why most announcements flops
Founders spend months in the trenches—building decks, pitching nonstop, closing the deal. But when the check clears? The energy fades into a two-line LinkedIn post.
Think about it: if you only tell people “Feeling blessed 🙏 thanks to our investors,” you’ve left all the real story—and the momentum—on the table.
A better way to launch your raise
Take Ketryx, for example. When they announced their Series B, they didn’t just hit publish on a press release. They rolled out a full package:
-
-
✅ Vision video
-
✅ Sizzle reel
-
✅ Custom graphics
-
✅ Press release + blog
-
✅ Clear plan for the future
-
The result? Energy. Clarity. A market (and future employees) that paid attention.
