Reading about successful businesses and creating/running a successful business are miles apart.
Just reading the statements wouldn't help.
But understanding the steps taken, culture created, type of people hired, and investments needed would help understand how the outcome was developed.
This, in fact, is what VCs try to understand in a company to get the highest return.
Form 10-K's are not how-to-run-a-business guides, by any stretch of the imagination.
They'll certainly provide you with some helpful information in regards to certain risks involved in being a company in a certain sector, and what sort of impact any number of things might have on your company, such as if there's a labor shortage or a product/material shortage like semiconductor sensor chips. 10-K's are primarily financial statements with additional narrative on the background and details of a company. But 10-K's do not a business make.
To put this in perspective, imagine reading the 10Ks of companies in the restaurant industry and then on that knowledge starting a restaurant. You will burn, quickly.
