You have a few:
1) Sponsor conferences/pay for booths. This one is tough because not every conference worries much about privacy.
2) Speak at every conference you can find. This one has the same caveat as above.
3) Build quality products at competitive rates and provide serious value. In theory, you hope you'll get referrals. You could think about rewarding referrals, but then if you sell your startup, you'd presumably be selling off an influence graph.
4) Go full bore evil, build a unicorn, avoid becoming truly evil, and give all your money away to privacy focused organizations.
5) Open source your products, allow self hosting and make your money off of consulting.
