Berkshire Hathaway 2021 annual report [pdf]

I'm building https://regattapages.com right now with a similar philosophy to what you described. The majority of my users are highly educated, technical, and over the age of 50 on average. They're not afraid of some monospaced text and a console-like input, when it makes sense.

The majority of my layouts are plain text, HTML tables and forms, and some SVG charts spruced up with a little bit of JS if it's enabled (everything should still work without it).

Performance is fast and it looks modern enough so long as I use modern CSS and some reactive design, but makes people feel at home because it doesn't FEEL like big tech.

I will shamelessly add that this is the first time I've publicly posted https://regattapages.com, and it is still heavily under construction. I did my first live demo at a Regatta this past weekend in St. Petersburg, FL.

I am looking for extremely small seed-level funding so I can continue to build out the site full-time until I am able to sell it to the large number of prospective customers I have (this summer, sailing doesn't happen in the Chicago winter).

Nice website! Reminds me of some of those crusty, old-looking tools used in finance (e.g. Bloomberg) which are actually really functional.

There is a typo on https://regatta.page/team:

> Former Software Engineer at Fortune 100 Financial Serivices Company
