Publish Startup Revenue Numbers?
patio11: What advantages and disadvantages do you see in publishing this information to your community and the world?It makes for good linkbait, gives you a quick cut-through-the-noise hook (utility of that declines sharply with exposure), and especially for solo entrepreneurs I think it sort of helps with the crushing social isolation we're otherwise prone to.People I respect (and respectfully disagree with) have said that it promotes small-time thinking, encourages competitors to come eat your lunch, and complicates your professional dealings with parties who may be concerned that you cannot stuff the genie back in the bottle.  (For example, potential acquirers).I would not expect any substantial increase in conversions from publishing numbers, since the people who are most interested in them are your professional peers rather than your customers.
