Hmmm... I really appreciate all the posts that express confidence in this product but I'm really suspect of the financials.

How did their revenue grow 70% (9-mo 2019 to 2020) but their losses grew 5x?! I can see that there was considerable increase in total costs and expenses but I didn't get a sense of where that investment was going and what long term return there was going to be.

Overall I'm surprised by this as I expected the variable costs to grow with usage and revenue but didn't think there would be a cost of revenue %...




A large part of this appears to be non cash expense associated with stock compensation that was recognized due to an investment round where they let employees and investors sell shares at above “market value”. Can helpful to look at cash flow.
