Rumors of�"the death of stealth mode" have been�greatly exaggerated. Ever since angel investor Chris Dixon tweeted, "New early-stage start up trend: get big quietly, so you don't tip off potential competitors" back in March�you can't grab a coffee at The Creamery without hearing a "We're in stealth mode" come out some neophyte founder's mouth. Multiple startups I have contacted for coverage have uttered the dreaded epithet and declined press despite a growing userbase.�I've spoken to a handful of VCs who hold that it's getting increasingly difficult to announce funding or undertake any sort of publicity for the nascent companies they're involved with.
