How to Engineer a Viral Startup Launch in 2025
Most launches flop because founders treat them like announcements instead of systems.
In this no-BS, behind-the-scenes session, Alexander Nevedovsky — San Francisco/Warsaw-based repeat AI founder (WANNA → Farfetch) and founder of No Cap, a YC-backed viral AI agent — breaks down exactly how to engineer a launch that actually gets attention in 2025.
Alexander will also share what it’s really like breaking into Silicon Valley as an Eastern European founder — the mindset shift, the fundraising playbook, and what U.S. investors actually respond to when you don’t come from the usual background.
What You’ll Learn
A practical breakdown of how to go from “we’re about to launch” to “everyone’s talking about us.”
You’ll walk away with:
The 4 launch formats that actually work — and when to use each
The “comments hack” that turns posts into organic reach engines
How to build and activate your launch circle — pre-engagers, amplifiers, and insiders
How to time your drop for maximum momentum (and why most founders miss it)
Storytelling and post formats that get attention without fake hype
Templates, checklists, and scripts that you can plug into your own launch
What metrics matter — and which are pure vanity
The failure patterns that quietly kill traction before it starts
Who This Is For
This session is for:
Founders preparing for their first or next launch
Marketers and operators who want repeatable systems, not luck
Solo founders and lean teams who need growth frameworks that work without big spend
