Ask HN: How transparent should your startup be?

Interesting question - I've been thinking along the same lines.

I current share - Wages, Intership programmes, Size (I dont pretend to be larger than we are, we used to but its beneficial not too for us.)

I'm concerned about sharing rev as well, but I have shared it with clients who have asked.... Its odd some clients mainly enterprise will ask whats your yearly rev as if its not a personal question.

I'm leaning towards being more transparent, sharing your burn rate in a particular way is OK. However its about messaging. If you write a blog post advertising the rate and its bad, I'd see that as negative. However if it comes up in conversation (article or RL) then I dont see the issue with sharing.

I'm feeling the same way. Had an interesting conversation last night where someone said they would totally give us a bit of money after telling him what we're spending per month and how. I'll think about where and how to talk about it.
