About Bias

How much funding has Bias raised?

Bias has raised $1.0M in total funding. The most recent round was Pre-Seed.

Where is Bias headquartered?

Bias is headquartered in Playa Vista, CA.

What does Bias do?

Bias is a modern Korean instant ramen brand — restaurant-quality air-dried noodles with bold, authentic flavors, starting with its signature Apgu Red Chili ramyun.

What problem does Bias solve?

Most instant ramen is deep-fried in cheap oil — greasy, high in saturated fat, and far from restaurant-quality flavor.

What's Bias's solution?

Bias air-dries its noodles instead of frying them, cutting saturated fat by up to 12x while keeping a chewier, restaurant-quality bite — real vegetable toppings, ready in 5 minutes, at 320 calories per bowl.

What makes Bias notable?

Operates as Bias (eatbias.com), legally registered as Pocha Noodle Co Inc; founded by Ryan Kang, a Korean American from LA. Marketed as air-dried rather than fried and as "developed with a K-pop idol," though the company does not name which one.
