Based on my experience, most startup ideas get their MVPs done as a side projects, since rarely anyone can afford just to drop everything and pursue it. One sentence did raise an alert in my head: stealth mode. No startup should ever be in a stealth mode - ever. Stealth mode to me means you're hiding you project from prospective customers which is a really bad idea and a common point of failure for many startups. You should un-stealth and show/discuss your product to everyone. You'd be amazed by the amount of good feedback you get. Stealth is a no-no.
