This is easy on the eyes but why not include the financial statements? Those numbers are pretty important.

Second this - I immediately look for the financials because it is usually the first time they are being presented publicly

Cool project nonetheless!

Thanks for the great points! I definitely went for "less is more" in this iteration. Financials should be incorporated, but I didn't want to just dump it on the casual reader who's not familiar with financial statements. I believe there are really may be ~10 lines of numbers (revenue breakdown, gross profit, operating cost line items, non-GAAP metrics) that deserve scrutiny in many cases.
I would guess that most readers of S-1 statements are interested in the balance sheet, P&L, and the cap table. Would love to see you provide a clean summary of those three things with graphs and extra breakouts like gross margin %.
