Should you build in public or in stealth? Here’s the brutal truth. A few years ago, I met two founders: Same idea, same market, different approach. Founder A went full stealth mode—no tweets, no LinkedIn updates, NDA for everything. He believed secrecy = first-mover advantage. Founder B built in public—shared product updates, early wins, struggles, even failures. He turned feedback into momentum. Fast forward a year… Founder A finally launched. But guess what? No one cared. No audience, no buzz, no immediate traction. He was building for himself, not the market. Founder B? His audience became his first customers. His product evolved with real-time feedback. He wasn’t just launching a startup; he was launching a movement. The lesson? Secrecy doesn’t guarantee success. Feedback does. Not saying stealth is useless. If your IP is your moat, sure. But for most? Build in public. Let the market shape your product. Which side are you on? Stealth or public?

Met a founder recently who is building in “stealth”. When I asked him what he is building in “stealth”, he replied that he doesn’t know what exactly to build that’s why he says “stealth”. 🤡

This or that? Pick one: 1) Raise $1M today OR land 10K users today? 2) Technical co-founder OR dream investor? 3) 5-day workweek OR 4-day grind + Friday rest? 4) Build in stealth OR build in public? Drop your picks - no wrong answers (maybe).
