Other interesting options: * Yes - and we're making more than we would working elsewhere. * Yes - and it's at least "ramen profitable" and more or less self-sustaining. * Yes, but not enough to live on just yet.

Definitely, mine would be "Yes, but not enough to live on just yet."

Not exactly a startup: our project [1] is making some revenue, but is far from profitable (edit: which is kind of on purpose, but that's a story for another time) [1] http://freelancersticker.com

Interesting, I was thinking of doing something like this to my macbook recently.

Not sure if it'd count (not really a startup) but could live on it in India.

That makes me think, coders in India have an edge when it comes to quitting their outsourced job. Being ramen profitable (or idly profitable?) is actually quite easy compared to the first world counterparts.

Call it reverse geo-arbitrage?
