In a world obsessed with AI hype and billion-dollar valuations, Ramen.is is quietly doing something radical: building a $2.7M revenue business with just 28 employees by solving one specific, painful problem. No venture funding, no growth hacking—just pure utility.

"They're not building a unicorn—they're building a ramen business. And that's exactly why it works."

The tech stack tells the story of a pragmatic team: Next.js for performance, Tailwind CSS for speed, Cloudflare for reliability, and Matomo for privacy-focused analytics. No unnecessary frameworks, no bloated stacks—just the tools that let 28 people move fast and ship reliably. It's a masterclass in lean engineering.

• Zero venture funding, yet $2.7M in revenue
• 28 employees generating $96K per employee
• Next.js + Tailwind = fast, maintainable, and cheap to run
• Matomo instead of Google Analytics = privacy-first by default
• 856 monthly visits but massive revenue efficiency
