Ha! Really close to a conversation I had with a recruiter back when I was looking. They were promising a ton of equity, and when I asked to see just a high level picture of the finances to make sure basics like the amount of runway were reasonably long I was met with an awkward pause. It's really strange that companies not only expect you to take a massive risk on the "upside potential" and then won't even let you inspect the current state.
So yeah: I'll just go with Google I guess /shrug
