Definition
The stage at which a startup makes just enough revenue to cover the founders' basic living expenses, assuming those expenses are limited to instant noodles and shared housing. It's the lowest bar of financial success that still technically counts as success.
Example Usage
"We're ramen profitable, which means the company generates enough revenue for me to eat, as long as I eat ramen and nothing else, and the ramen is on sale, and I skip weekends."
