In a world obsessed with growth metrics and viral adoption, alpin.io presents a fascinating anomaly: a company with $4M in funding, 4 employees, and $100K in revenue, yet virtually zero measurable digital footprint. This isn't a failure—it's a deliberate strategy.

"Alpin.io isn't building a product for the masses—it's building an enterprise fortress where customers come through doors you can't see."

The $4M funding round is telling. At 4 employees, that's $1M per head—enough runway for 2-3 years of deep R&D. This isn't a company chasing product-market fit; it's a company that likely already has it and is now scaling operations. The revenue number feels like early pilot projects, not a product in market.

• Enterprise-first strategy: No public website traffic means deals are closed through networks, not inbound marketing
• Capital efficiency: $4M for 4 employees suggests focused, capital-intensive development (likely hardware or infrastructure)
• Revenue quality over quantity: $100K from 1-2 enterprise pilots beats $1M from 1000 SMBs
• The 'alpin' search volume: Existing customers searching for login portals, not new prospects finding them
