My take on this is if the market is big, it's not going to matter anyways since large markets will naturally attract competitors based on the amount of people screaming for solutions. If it's a niche however, you're probably best keeping to yourself about it.

One caveat is if your target market is entrepreneurs then being open about it might help differentiate yourself from competitors.

Totally. And depends on what the upside of signaling is? Some entrepreneurs like to drop their numbers so that they can generate competitive inbound finance or acquisition interest without having to shop round. It also attracts talent. Transparency can be an incredible powerful competitive advantage too.
