It's 75K for two people.

This is 32.5K each if we pretend Kickstarter didn't take any and there were no other expenses for the business.

Living wage for a single adult with no children in San Francisco is $26,692. For two adults with a kid its $50,186. http://livingwage.mit.edu/places/0607567000

SF is an expensive city, but so are most large cities in the world.

So yes, 75K for two people would be close to the poverty line. I'm surprised they're not asking for a lot more.
