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.

Successful people look for complementary co-founders, and hire a multi-faceted team. Many entrepreneurs are reluctant to expose their idea to others early, often called stealth mode, for fear of it being stolen.

Stealth marketing can cross the line in black hat strategies. This phrase represents a stretching of the ethical and moral standards in advertising – as it encourages hired actors to merge with a crowd of peers and to pass the message.
