Congratulations to them. Who would've thought a "Kickstarter for t-shirts" would raise $20M?

The article mentions that AH was "hoping to keep the investment under wraps indefinitely". Why would this be? We all see investment press releases constantly.

It's amazing to me that two t-shirt companies have raised significant rounds in the last 3 months. CustomInk raised $40M a few months ago: http://techcrunch.com/2013/11/11/customink-40m-ted-leonsis/

Disclosure: I work for CustomInk. It's an exciting time to be in the t-shirt business.
