I was watching this video celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the RPi: https://youtu.be/eiwm5TMHIy8<p>They mention how they had to spend multiple years of development before the first release, iterating quite a bit. Does anyone know how they managed it? Like, how did they keep the engineers interested? Were they paying out salaries at the time? If so, where did the money come from?
Eben Upton, the founder, was an architect for Broadcom and he worked around the raspberry pi initially.
