how to show work experience at a stealth mode startup

Posted in:People & HR Advice Job Hunting

I have a question for recruiters: how do you show quantifiable impact on your CV when your work experience was at a startup that was in stealth mode but never launched?

basically we didn't have any customers and didn't make any money – does that mean the experience was meaningless? even if it meant I learned to code, build a game, conduct user interviews? I'm stuck on how to show that value on a CV when people say that you should show impact in numbers.

would appreciate any advice! thanks :)
