My basic claim is that you MUST HAVE LOTS OF EARLY CONVERSATIONS. What is Stealth? What's also interesting in Niel's piece is that he defines Stealth Mode not as not having conversations, but rather he says it's not make public pronouncements.

It is all about how you hire the best and the amazing impact doing so will have on your culture. You must test those that you want to hire. I didn’t know better at the time and they were much older and “experienced” than I was, so I let them run with that plan. But they were wrong 50% of the time, six months later.

Great content again in September that meets at the intersection of startups, technology, product and being a Startup CTO. Shortly after we sold Opsware to Hewlett-Packard, I had a conversation with the legendary venture capitalist Doug Leone of Sequoia Capital. Kanye West. It’s great advice. The writing is on the wall.”.
