It seems as though in many categories, especially in consumer internet space, a handful of startups pursuing quite similar or even apparently identical ideas launch within months of each other. independently come to launch very similar products/services. Another d2c gourmet pet food company ?

Today, with the Internet and social media, if you aren’t visible in a positive way to everyone, including customers, your leadership efforts will be lost. In this age of total access via the Internet, you can’t hide relationships, or the lack of them. Build relationships with known business leaders.

Startups in stealth mode need one piece of advice. As in stop being in stealth mode. I started my first internet company while getting my MBA.

Now were not exactly in stealth-mode - weve pitched at Techcrunch - but Id rather not go dancing in my competitors faces. One concern I might have with doing this is that you are competing for ad space with your competitors. By putting yourself directly in their space you are alerting them to your emergence as a threat.

Bruce Sterling’s closing keynote/rant where he talked about the internet in 2007 as “folk” technology. It’s one that I can’t talk about, they are in stealth for at least another three years but it involves the most insane team of talent I’ve ever heard of. Has anyone on your team been to SXSW before? I attended in 2007.
