A stealth startup is a type of startup company that operates in stealth and silence to outsiders, avoiding public attention. This may be done to hide information from competitors (which may include non-disclosure agreements), or as part of a marketing strategy to manage public image and generate expectations and interest from potential clients. A Stealth Startup normally only operates in stealth mode for its first few years. The phenomenon is well known in the venture capital (VC) community. Since investors may have to disclose funding a stealth startup, their names are made public, but often only a general summary description is known about the company.
