Every time I hear about a new startup that is in stealth mode, I wonder what problem they are hiding from whom. I believe stealth makes sense for large companies who can be sued for “pre-announcing” a new product to stall the market or kill a competitor. This takes time, and is more valuable than any advertising you can buy.

We recently invested in Osano , which is led by the very talented Arlo Gilbert and is currently in stealth mode. By contrast, MOON is going to launch soon and is not in stealth mode at all.

When I started investing the US advertising market was $300 billion with only 10% of it ($30 billion) of it being online and measurable. One recession later and the US advertising market is about $245 billion – but still only 10-12% is online and measurable. This form of advertising is know at CPA (cost per action).

Most content sites are currently monetized using display advertising, most commonly on a Cost Per Thousand Impressions (CPM) basis. That incentive removes a focus from the important entity, your customer, and places it on the secondary entity, your advertiser. But it gets worse. The web is littered with examples of this awfulness.
