Break-Even

Definitions

1. The point where revenue equals costs, so the business is no longer losing money on a net basis. Founders and boards track break-even closely when capital is constrained.

   In plain English: The point where a business makes enough money to cover its costs.

   Example: "The company reached break-even after reducing burn and improving retention."
