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. We went with the stealth mode approach prior to our launch, as I’ll reflect on at the bottom of this lesson.

Because I am true to the hiring practices I preach, I wanted a strong exec who would “ punch above their weightclass ” by taking a job they hadn’t yet done but would hugely aspire to and thus work harder to out perform. It’s nice to finally not be in stealth mode! And we wanted a head of global marketing.

It’s popular these days for startup founders to operate in stealth mode, meaning no details about the idea or progress are shared with anyone until the big reveal and rollout. Startups in stealth mode often have a false sense of security that they can take extra time to do the job right the first time. Marty Zwilling.

Many people believe that Steve Jobs did not become a recognized business leader until after his return to Apple in 1997, when he became more visible, changed his business style, and focused on communicating the big picture, rather than product development. Online it may be time to take a formal position via blogs and interviews.

Waking up each morning knowing you are getting to do exactly what you love is more than most people could ever say about any “job” they have had. Although there are days when tossing in your hat seems like a viable option, remembering how much you love your “job” can quickly snap an entrepreneur out of that mentality.

When someone has a business idea, she may choose not to disclose what the idea is about aka stealth mode. I am a trained engineer after all so it is my job to over analyze things.

The best growth companies enable employees to choose their own job, and grant them the leeway to get the work done. Enable customers to customize your offerings, and learn from the choices they make.
