> Or is giving too much information ... risky if an employee leaves What is your actual risk exposure here? For most startups the existential threat isn't competitors, it's lack of traction. There's basically nothing that a competitor could find out that would substantial hurt the startup, especially nothing that they won't find out anyways. There are obvious exceptions (e.g. you're a hedgefund and have a trading strategy which could be wiped out if someone bigger started exploiting the same opportunity), but they're called exceptions for a reason.
