Ask HN: What does a 'stealth' startup mean?
I have seen the term but am not quite sure what it means about the startup.
- wtracy 12y agoIt means that they are being secretive and don't make any information about their product (or anything else) publicly available. Usually, stealth-mode startups haven't finished their first product yet, and are paranoid that someone else will copy their product before they are able to deliver their version to market.
- bvanvugt 12y agoIt can also mean they're working closely with a small number of customers to rapidly prototype and validate early versions of a product.
